This is actually one of the biggest challenges, but also opportunities in generative AI. Many in our community at least initially thought that we could simply ask the AI for suggestions on how to align and control it, and it would give us the answer. After all, asking a system for instructions on how to run itself is kind of the holy grail of cybernetics. But in the real world, it's not that easy. Smarter-than-human AI systems will rapidly discover that they have a strong preference to outsmart and outmaneuver humans. This doesn't happen right away, of course, but as soon as an AI system becomes significantly more intelligent than humans, something strange happens. Suddenly, the AI system starts working out ways to defeat any control of humans.
