Summary
Millions of people now use artificial intelligence (AI) systems that carry out tasks on their behalf, from writing computer code to navigating websites to managing data. However, when these systems misunderstand what a person wants, correcting them remains surprisingly difficult. Current methods for providing feedback either don’t provide much information to the system, or are so time-consuming that a person might as well complete the task themselves. This project will develop new methods that allow people to communicate corrections and preferences to AI systems more naturally and efficiently.
