AI Alignment, Philosophical Pluralism, and the Relevance of Non-Western Philosophy

📖 Description

*This is an extended transcript of* [*the talk I gave at EAGxAsiaPacific 2020*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbMp4pFVwnU)*. In the talk, I present a somewhat critical take on how AI alignment has grown as a field, and how, from my perspective, it deserves considerably more philosophical and disciplinary diversity than it has enjoyed so far. I'm sharing it here in the hopes of generating discussion about the disciplinary and philosophical paradigms that (I understand) the AI alignment community to be rooted in, and whether or how we should move beyond them. Some sections cover introductory material that most people here are likely to be familiar with, so feel free to skip them.*
