Addy Osmani reflects on the role of taste and judgment in an AI-driven world, arguing that while AI can acquire taste, human judgment—rooted in accountability and ownership—remains irreplaceable.
Learning from human preferences
OpenAI presents a method for training AI agents using human preference feedback, where an agent learns reward functions from human comparisons of behavior trajectories and uses reinforcement learning to optimize for the inferred goals. The approach demonstrates strong sample efficiency, requiring less than 1000 bits of human feedback to train an agent to perform a backflip.
