Neurotechnology is Critical for AI Alignment
A mechanistic understanding of human cognition is critical for achieving AI alignment, and neurotechnology is critical for getting this understanding.
TL;DR This post makes a two-part argument that neurotechnology development is probably necessary, though not sufficient, to achieve AI alignment. The two parts are: Mechanistic understanding of human cognition is critical for achieving AI alignment. Neurotechnology is critical for getting this understanding. I don't think merging with AI or uploading people to the cloud are solutions to AI alignment on their own. I do think neurotechnology for understanding human cognition can be developed on timescales relevant to AI alignment. Assumptions AI alignment is a problem we need to solve AI alignme
