Ryan Greenblatt imagines that highly aligned AIs could run an AI company and conduct safety research that makes subsequent generations of AIs more aligned, creating a self-reinforcing improvement in alignment.

“in some specific context and like every test you can run on them they look really aligned they just have great behavior there aren't really incidents of them doing fucked up shit they seem so reasonable and also they're like really thoughtful and good at doing like risk modeling for the next generation of AIs and then we basically like pass off the baton to these AIs they're now running our AI company they're doing all this safety research they make the next generation of AIs even more aligned and we're sort of in this like a tractor basin where the AIs are getting more aligned as they work on it and they're doing a great job”
