Abstract

AI alignment is the effort to design Artificial Intelligence systems so their goals, behaviors, and decisions are consistent with human values and intentions, making them safe, helpful, and reliable. In the context of open source, this BoF will explore what it means for AI to be aligned with open source (what we have built, know, value, expect). Insights will inform work we're doing in the CHAOSS Community as part of AI in Open Source Working Group
