Scalable agent alignment via reward modeling: a research direction

by DeepMind · free · Last verified 2026-03-17

Outlines a research direction for scalable AI alignment through recursive reward modeling, where AI assistance enables humans to evaluate complex AI behaviors they could not assess directly. The paper discusses debate, amplification, and recursive reward modeling as complementary approaches to aligning increasingly capable AI systems.
