The article discusses the challenges in aligning artificial agents with human goals and values, highlighting the limitations of current AI alignment approaches like expert trajectory replication and reinforcement learning with human feedback. It argues that a theory of mind, or the ability to understand and evaluate others' beliefs, is essential for achieving true AI alignment.
The study investigates the influence of the CNR1 gene, specifically the rs1049353 polymorphism, on gambling behavior. It was found that homozygous C allele carriers placed significantly larger bets than C/T carriers in a modified Cambridge gambling task. The gene expression map shows that the CNR1 gene is overexpressed in brain regions involved in reward and risk processing.
