Coherent Extrapolated Volition (CEV)
A proposed target for what an AI should be aligned to: not what people say they want right now, but what humanity would want if we were better informed, thought more clearly, and had grown together in the direction we wish to grow.
Origin
Introduced by Eliezer Yudkowsky (profiled on our Who’s Who page) in the 2004 paper “Coherent Extrapolated Volition,” published by the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (now MIRI).
