Harm caused by unaligned competent systems

"How do we ensure AI acts according to our values? Equivalently, how do we prevent poorly-understood AI systems from advancing goals we do not endorse? Whereas HP#2 concerns the prevention of harm caused by incompetent systems, HP#3 seeks to align competent AIs with humans, through methods which ensure their behavior is compatible with the user’s intentions."
