📖 Description

[AI safety via debate](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/wo6NsBtn3WJDCeWsx/ai-safety-via-debate) has been, so far, associated with [Factored Cognition](https://www.alignmentforum.org/s/EmDuGeRw749sD3GKd). There are good reasons for this. For one thing, Factored Cognition gives us a potential *gold standard for amplification* -- what it means to give very, very good answers to questions. Namely, HCH. To the extent that we buy HCH as a gold standard, proving that debate approximates HCH in some sense would give us some assurances about what it is accomplishing.
