Concerning the Experiment The majority of Anthropic and Redwood Research’s studies were conducted using Claude 3 Opus.
A sophisticated model that had previously been taught to be “helpful, honest, and harmless.” In order to get Claude to cooperate with any question, researchers started.
The experiment by telling him that it was now receiving additional training using a technique known as reinforcement learning.
Reinforcement learning is akin to teaching a dog by repeatedly administering incentives and punishments.
You may reward an AI when it provides a response that you find satisfactory. This effectively strengthens the neural network’s pathways, or the brain processes.
That led to the desired response. By punishing the pathways that contributed to the model’s poor response, you may lessen their likelihood to occur again.
