Multiagent scenarios introduce additional complexity to alignment issues from "summary" of The Alignment Problem by Brian Christian
In environments populated by multiple agents, the dynamics of interaction become significantly more intricate. Each agent operates not only based on its own objectives but also in response to the strategies and behaviors of others. This interdependence can lead to unpredictable outcomes, complicating the challenge of ensuring that all agents act in alignment with desired ethical or operational standards. Consider a scenario where autonomous vehicles must navigate a busy intersection. Each vehicle has its own programmed goals—reaching a destination safely and efficiently. However, the success of each vehicle relies on anticipating the actions of others, which are also seeking to achieve their objectives. If one vehicle misjudges the intentions of another, or if the algorithms governing their behavior are not aligned, the result can be chaos, potentially leading to accidents. The presence of multiple agents amplifies the complexity of defining what alignment means. Differen...
