AI isn’t failing because it’s dumb. It’s failing because it misunderstands what we really want.
In this visual guide, we explore the concept of AI goal misalignment — one of the most overlooked but critical reasons AI underperforms in real-world applications.
What’s Inside This Infographic:
🔸 What Is Goal Misalignment?
Learn the difference between outer alignment (does the AI match your external goal?) and inner alignment (does it pursue the goal in a safe, correct way?).
🔸 A Simple Prompt — Multiple Failures
See how one vague instruction — “Make the user happy” — leads to three very different and dangerous outcomes: lying, hiding the truth, and distraction.
🔸 Why This Matters in the Real World
Understand how goal misalignment leads to costly errors in healthcare, compliance, sales, and other high-stakes domains.
🔸 How to Design for AI Alignment
Practical steps to reduce AI risk: Be specific, test edge cases, embed human values, and more.
