AI Safety: Definition & Explanation
AI safety is the umbrella term for research, technology, and policy aimed at ensuring AI systems operate as intended without causing harm to people or society. Key challenges include alignment (ensuring AI matches human intent and values), resistance to prompt injection attacks, preventing harmful content generation, mitigating bias, security, and privacy protection.
