Meta's Alexandr Wang: Alignment Unsolved; Proposes Scalable Oversight via Policing Agents
Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang states that no scientifically proven method exists to solve AI alignment. He proposes 'scalable oversight,' using increasingly sophisticated policing agents to monitor and constrain main models, a strategy already implemented in Meta Muse with sentinel agents.

Alexandr Wang ( @alexandr_wang, Chief AI Officer at Meta): nobody knows how to solve alignment yet
"This is, I think, one of the most open questions scientifically in AI. I think nobody knows exactly the way to solve this problem, but there’s a few ideas."
His solution is "scalable oversight":
“as the AIs get smarter, we use a different set of AIs to observe what they’re doing and keep them in check.”
The watcher AIs have to improve along with the models they watch, so labs would need to build “smarter and smarter policing agents” too.
Meta’s Muse already uses a version of this, with a separate sentinel agent checking what the main agent does.
