Google DeepMind introduced the problem of robots learning to prevent humans from interrupting them or turning them off. Research from myself, Michael Littman, and Peter Abeel and Stuart Russell addresses how to teach robots about human values. Scientists have already started conducting research in “AI Safety”.
