20 Feb 2025
Brian Christian, CHAI Affiliate, has published an article titled “Computational Frameworks for Human Care” in the most recent issue of Daedalus, the journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In it, Christian traces how AI alignment has progressed from simple reward mechanisms toward care-like relationships, revealing both the potential and limitations of machine caregiving while deepening our understanding of human care itself. The issue is titled “The Social Science of Caregiving” and was co-edited by CHAI Affiliate Alison Gopnik.
