A Hormetic Approach to the Value-Loading Problem: Preventing the Paperclip Apocalypse?

The value-loading problem is a significant challenge for researchers aiming to create artificial intelligence (AI) systems that align with human values and preferences. This problem requires a method to define and regulate safe and optimal limits of AI behaviors. In this work, we propose HALO (Hormetic ALignment via Opponent processes), a regulatory paradigm that uses hormetic analysis to regulate the behavioral patterns of AI. Behavioral hormesis is a phenomenon where low frequencies of a behavior have beneficial effects, while high …
