Artificial Intelligence, Epistemic Institutions, Values and Reflective Processes, Economic Growth, Space Governance, Effective Altruism, Research That Can Help Us Improve
Goodhart’s Law states: “Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes”, or more simply, “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”
The problem of ‘Goodharting’ seems to crop up in many relevant places, including alignment of artificial intelligence and the social and economic coordination of individuals and institutions. More research into this property of reality and how to mitigate it may be fruitful for structuring the processes that are reordering the world.
