Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Value extrapolation vs Wireheading, published by Stuart Armstrong on June 17, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. Talk given by Rebecca Gorman and Stuart Armstrong at the CHAI 2022 Asilomar Conference. We present an example of AI wireheading (an AI taking over its own reward channel), and show how value extrapolation can be used to combat it. Thanks for listening.
