Building Trust in Generative AI Systems
In the previous chapter, we explored several design methods that can effectively guide intelligent agents toward desirable behavior while upholding ethical principles. Focused instruction, guardrails and constraints, and finding the right balance between autonomy and control are crucial strategies for aligning these agents with human values and mitigating potential risks.
Clear objectives, tasks, and operating contexts through focused instructions provide a well-defined framework for agents to operate within. Guardrails and constraints act as boundaries, preventing agents from wandering into unintended territory and minimizing the risks of adverse consequences. Meanwhile, a balanced approach that combines autonomous decision-making with human control allows agents to exercise independent judgment while remaining tethered to our values and principles.
However, beneath the successful adoption and acceptance of generative AI systems lies a...
