Brian Christian
UC BerkeleyPostdoctoral Scholar, Center for Human-Compatible AI
Christian made AI alignment accessible to a broad audience through The Alignment Problem, which connects technical failures in machine learning with questions about human values. His research now studies how reward models represent preferences and where human feedback falls short as a guide for AI behavior.
