I received an interesting document in one of my feeds today, and I thought it was worth sharing here with you. Before I say anything more, I’d encourage you to take a look at the original paper yourself if this subject interests you. I’ll attach the paper to this post so you can read it firsthand and make up your own mind about the ideas it raises. What caught my attention is that, although this is an academic paper, the core idea behind it is surprisingly relevant to the wider conversation around AI, human behaviour, trust, and how intelligent systems may shape our decisions in the years ahead. What the paper is about At a high level, the paper looks at something known as AI value alignment. That sounds technical, but the basic idea is simple enough. If AI systems are going to become more involved in our daily lives, they need to act in ways that fit with human goals, values, and expectations. In other words, they should not just be clever. They should also behave in ways that are helpful, trustworthy, and safe. So far, that probably sounds obvious. But the paper argues that many current ways of thinking about alignment are still too narrow. They often assume that a human being has a clear, fixed goal, and that the AI simply needs to understand that goal and carry it out correctly. The problem is... human beings are not that simple. Our expectations change. Our trust changes. Our confidence changes. Sometimes we feel comfortable with a system, and sometimes we do not. The exact same response from a machine might feel helpful in one context and unsettling in another. A result can be technically correct and still leave the user feeling confused, uneasy, or dissatisfied. That is where this paper becomes especially interesting. A more human-centred way of looking at AI The authors suggest that alignment should not be thought of as a one-way process where the human sets the goal and the machine follows orders. Instead, they argue for something more dynamic. Their idea is that the human and the AI are involved in an ongoing interaction, and that the AI should adapt not only to the task itself but also to the changing internal state of the person using it.

With the launch of this new AI specific group I've now moved the AI News here as well. You'll find this week's news in the classroom.

AI is no longer the future, it's here and here to stay. People who think it's just a passing phase will be left behind and with the speed of change happening today may never catch up. I created this community to help members grow their knowledge of AI, how to use it in their daily lives and how to use it's power to build simple side incomes. Here’s What You Can Expect in This Community: 👉Help and support from others like you to build the level of extra side income that will make life a lot easier for you. 👉 Tips and tutorials for list building, traffic, website design and automation 👉 A friendly space where questions are welcome and there’s no such thing as a silly one 👉 Support and community from others walking the same path This isn’t about using scammy hacks that disappear as soon as platforms find them. It’s about building a real, flexible online business that fits your life — using AI and our guidance, support, and tools that actually work. How to Get Started: Introduce yourself in the community; - Tell us where you’re from - Tell us where you're at in terms AI and achieving a side income - Why you joined this community - and What you want help with right now to help you achieve your goals Browse the topics or search for something you're curious about – chances are, there’s already a post or mini training to help. Check the courses in the classroom – they'll help you start building your AI knowledge and how to use it. Need Help? If you get stuck or unsure what to do next, just ask. Post in the group, tag me, or message privately if you prefer. I'm here to help - and so are others in this community. This is a place to grow, learn, and most importantly… take action. You’ve already taken the first step just by joining - let’s build something together that you’ll be proud of. To your success, Trevor Greenfield Founder,
