New paper Alert 🚨 📢 #lastXpostof2024.

Grateful once again to the researchers and practitioners who stopped by our presentation on the Value Imprint framework at NeurIPS 2024. For those reaching out and interested in improving/enhancing this work. Thread.. 🧵

Looking ahead to 2025, the AI community faces key challenges in value alignment of AI systems, as the adoption of these systems grows. Our work aims to provide concrete tools that support researchers to better understand & improve how human values are embedded into AI systems.

[Ike Obi @ikeobi_io]

The benefit of human values for computational systems is that it provides a framework for dealing with embodied uncertainty in ways that are generative and non-restrictive yet meaningful.

Recently, I've become quite fascinated by the intricacies of my log data and the value of consistent checks. It's amazing how much you can learn from just observing.

Spent some time over the weekend reflecting on my journey thus far.

[Ike Obi @ikeobi_io]

currently reading some early works in social computing and online communities and seeing some interesting terms like twittering, twitterers, and twittizens.

The implication is that what is true (in our socially constructed world) today might become untrue and disfavored tomorrow, and vice versa.

[Ike Obi @ikeobi_io]

Most of the things we consider intelligence in current AI Systems are actually a collection of socially constructed human preferences and norms that are situated in time. That is to say that intelligence in those types of contexts does not equal constant and definitive truth.

[Ike Obi @ikeobi_io]

There is a need to design a new specialization/discipline that focuses on studying how human values and norms are operationalized in technological and computational systems.
