**Date of recording: **Tuesday May 10, 2022 DescriptionAI Safety Support recently hosted a closed, introductory talk by Connor Leahy on Promising Paths to Alignment. The talk covers: (i) why Alignment is such a difficult problem, (ii) current approaches to solving it, and (iii) some info on Connor’s new Alignment Research startup, Conjecture. I highly recommend this talk for developing a better understanding of the technical Alignment research landscape—particularly for those considering or pursuing a related career.
