Abstract

As automatic agents begin to operate in high-stakes areas like finance and healthcare, the alignment of AI goals with human values becomes increasingly critical, addressing the so-called “alignment problem”. To tackle this challenge, the paper proposes the architecture of a Value-Based autonomous Agent capable of interpreting its environment through the lens of human values and guiding its decission-making processes in accordance with its own values. The agent utilizes a natural language processing (NLP) technique to detect and assess the values associated with various actions, selecting those most aligned with its moral guidelines. The integration of NLP into the agent’s architecture is crucial for enhancing its ability to make autonomous value-aligned decisions, offering a framework for incorporating ethical considerations into AI development.
