01_ABSTRACT_SYNOPSIS

The Alignment Problem gives product teams a grounded overview of how machine learning systems drift away from human values through biased data, poorly specified objectives, and opaque optimization. Brian Christian blends research history with accessible explanations that help non-specialists understand where AI systems fail and what responsible teams should watch for. It is especially useful for PMs translating ethics conversations into real product constraints.
