AI alignment is mathematically impossible, scientists find

Researchers have demonstrated that achieving perfect alignment between AI systems and human values is mathematically impossible. This stems from inherent limitations in formal systems and computation, meaning some misalignment is structural rather than a bug to be fixed. The proposed solution involves creating an ecosystem of diverse AI agents with partially overlapping goals that monitor and constrain each other, moving from a fantasy of absolute control to a more realistic distributed control.
