Abstract: As AI systems are increasingly incorporated into domains where human behavior has set the norm, a challenge for AI governance and AI alignment research is to regulate their behavior in a way that is useful and constructive for society. One way to answer this question is to ask: how do we govern the human behavior that the models are emulating? To evaluate human behavior, the American legal system often uses the "Reasonable Person Standard." The idea of "reasonable" behavior comes up in nearly every area of law. The legal system often judges the actions of parties with respect to what a reasonable person would have done under similar circumstances. This paper argues that the reasonable person standard provides useful guidelines for the type of behavior we should develop, probe, and stress-test in models. It explains how reasonableness is defined and used in key areas of the law using illustrative cases, how the reasonable person standard could apply to AI behavior in each of these areas and contexts, and how our societal understanding of "reasonable" behavior provides useful technical goals for AI researchers.

A theory of appropriateness with applications to generative artificial intelligence [56.23261221948216]
We need to understand how appropriateness guides human decision making in order to properly evaluate AI decision making and improve it. This paper presents a theory of appropriateness: how it functions in human society, how it may be implemented in the brain, and what it means for responsible deployment of generative AI technology.

Technology as uncharted territory: Contextual integrity and the notion of AI as new ethical ground [55.2480439325792]
I argue that efforts to promote responsible and ethical AI can inadvertently contribute to and seemingly legitimize this disregard for established contextual norms. I question the current narrow prioritization in AI ethics of moral innovation over moral preservation.

Using AI Alignment Theory to understand the potential pitfalls of regulatory frameworks [55.2480439325792]
This paper critically examines the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) Uses insights from Alignment Theory (AT) research, which focuses on the potential pitfalls of technical alignment in Artificial Intelligence. As we apply these concepts to the EU AI Act, we uncover potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in the regulation.

Beyond Preferences in AI Alignment [15.878773061188516]
We characterize and challenge the preferentist approach to AI alignment. We show how preferences fail to capture the thick semantic content of human values. We argue that AI systems should be aligned with normative standards appropriate to their social roles.

Human Oversight of Artificial Intelligence and Technical Standardisation [0.0]
Within the global governance of AI, the requirement for human oversight is embodied in several regulatory formats. The EU legislator is therefore going much further than in the past in "spelling out" the legal requirement for human oversight. The question of the place of humans in the AI decision-making process should be given particular attention.
