The speaker is uncertain whether an alignment solution will be achieved before AI becomes uncontrollable.

“agnostic as to whether we get to that alignment solution,”

“which in our scenario I think we focus on mechanistic interpretability.”

“Once we can really understand the weights of an AI on a deep level,”

“then we have a lot of alignment techniques open up to us.”

“I don't really have a great sense of whether we get that before or after the AI has become completely uncontrollable.”
