Abstract
The value alignment problem consists in ensuring the values of an AI system align with the values of its operator. A potential solution to this problem is formalised as the Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) setting. In IRL , the goal is to infer the reward function of an agent (a human), just from observing its behaviour in the environment. In Cooperative IRL , the agents are allowed to interact. From this, more effective teaching strategies than passive observation emerge. We will talk about formalising this problem, and an algorithm to approximate good teaching strategies.
