About this opportunity
Zizy Inc. lists this AI Alignment Engineer opportunity in northern, Kentucky. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
The Zizy Alignment Team is working on technical approaches to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) aligns with human values and follows human intent. Through scientific experimentation, we explore the scalability of alignment techniques and identify potential breaking points. Our approach to alignment research primarily focuses on engineering a scalable training signal for advanced AI systems that aligns with human intent. This approach is built upon three main pillars:
Training AI systems using human feedback, such as learning from human instructions
Training AI systems to assist human evaluation, such as training models to self-critique
Training AI systems to conduct alignment research, such as using language models to explain neurons in language models
About the Role
We are seeking research engineers and research scientists to help design and implement experiments for alignment research. Responsibilities may include:
Designing experiments to measure the effectiveness of scalable oversight techniques such as AI-assisted feedback and debate
Studying generalization to see when AI systems trained on easy problem can solve hard problems
Managing large datasets from interpretability experiments and creating visualizations to explore interpretability data
Developing experiments to test how well chain of thought reasoning reflects model cognition
Investigating situations when training against a reward signal causes model outputs to deteriorate
Exploring methods to understand and predict model behaviors, such as finding inputs causing anomalous circuits or catastrophic outputs
Designing novel approaches for using LLMs in alignment research
You might thrive in this role if you:
Are excited about Zizy's mission
Possess a strong curiosity about aligning and understanding ML models, and are motivated to use your career to address this challenge
Enjoy fast-paced, collaborative, and cutting-edge research environments
Have experience implementing ML algorithms (e.g., PyTorch)
Want to ensure that powerful AI systems stay under human control
Zizy is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.
At Zizy, we believe artificial intelligence has the potential to help people solve immense global challenges, and we want the upside of AI to be widely shared. Join us in shaping the future of technology.
