Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger Launches Flourishing AI Benchmark for Human Values Alignment
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has partnered with faith tech company Gloo to launch the Flourishing AI (FAI) benchmark, designed to test how well AI models align with human values. The benchmark is based on The Global Flourishing Study from Harvard and Baylor University and evaluates AI models across seven categories including character, relationships, happiness, meaning, health, financial stability, and faith.
Skynet Chance (-0.08%): The development of new alignment benchmarks focused on human values represents a positive step toward ensuring AI systems remain beneficial and controllable. While modest in scope, such tools contribute to better measurement and mitigation of AI alignment risks.
Skynet Date (+0 days): The introduction of alignment benchmarks may slow deployment of AI systems as developers incorporate additional safety evaluations. However, the impact is minimal as this is one benchmark among many emerging safety tools.
AGI Progress (0%): This benchmark focuses on value alignment rather than advancing core AI capabilities or intelligence. It represents a safety tool rather than a technical breakthrough that would accelerate AGI development.
AGI Date (+0 days): The benchmark addresses alignment concerns but doesn't fundamentally change the pace of AGI research or development. It's a complementary safety tool rather than a factor that would significantly accelerate or decelerate AGI timelines.
