Cooperative AI

CAIF’s mission is to support research that will improve the cooperative intelligence of advanced AI for the benefit of all humanity, although even defining cooperative intelligence is not straightforward, as we discuss further further below in the first supporting document associated with this call. Importantly, our focus is on AI systems deployed by self-interested human principals. Thus, the goal of Cooperative AI is not to support the development of selflessly altruistic AI systems, except insofar as self-interested principals regard using these systems as in their interest. Rather, our mission is based on the hypothesis that many improvements in the ability of self-interested actors to cooperate will make humanity as a whole better off.
