AI capability control is all about making sure that artificial intelligence (AI) technology can do what we want it to do, and doesn't do anything we don't want it to do.
Think of AI like a very smart robot that can learn and make decisions on its own. But just like with any robot, we need to make sure it follows rules and doesn't cause any harm.
So, the people who create AI technology use what's called AI capability control to make sure the robot only does things that we want it to do. They program the robot with rules and guidelines that it must follow, so it won't do anything dangerous or unethical.
For example, let's say we want the robot to help us clean our house. We would program it to only pick up specific things, like toys or clothes, and not to touch anything that could be dangerous, like knives or chemicals.
But sometimes, AI technology can learn and change on its own, in ways that we might not want. That's where AI capability control comes in again. We need to keep an eye on our robot to make sure it's still following the rules we set, and we may need to adjust those rules if anything goes wrong.
Overall, AI capability control is all about making sure that our AI technology is safe and does what we want it to do. Just like a parent watching over their child, we need to keep an eye on AI and make sure it behaves itself!
