I ask myself often, "How can I be a corrigible employee? How can I surface the key decision points my supervisors need so that they can correct my course if needed, without overburdening them with detail?"

Twitter thread: Nathan Helm-Burger's essay 'AI as Corrigible Employee (ACE)' at nathanhelmburger.fyi draws a reply from Jennifer RM (@almostlikethat) objecting to the word 'corrigibility' as connoting slavery and to the assumption corporations/governance are morally adequate. Nathan replies reframing corrigibility as 'a good employee who earnestly cares about helping their employer' and describes asking himself how to surface key decisions for supervisors to correct course without overburdening them.
