Ben Pace answers When was the term “AI alignment” coined?

[Ben Pace]

I recall Eliezer saying that Stuart Russell named the ‘value alignment problem’, and that it was derived from that. (Perhaps Eliezer derived it?)

[Gurkenglas]

I recall Eliezer asking on Facebook for a good word for the field of AI safety research before it was called alignment.

Would be interested in a link if anyone is willing to go look for it.
