About the Team
The Human Flourishing team’s mission is to ensure AI systems understand and advance human flourishing. As AI becomes more capable and plays a larger role in people’s lives, we want its human benefits to grow with its capabilities. The Human Flourishing team is part of the broader Post Training organization.
Our approach has two parts. Firstly, we measure and improve models’ understanding, capability, and propensity to act according to people’s values and to help them achieve their long-term goals. Secondly, we directly scale tangible impact for users in human domains like education and mental health, working across research, product, and partnerships to increase the benefits over a billion people experience weekly when they use ChatGPT.
Our recent work includes Beneficial RL https://alignment.openai.com/beneficial-rl/, which investigates how training for beneficial behavior generalizes across settings, and MentalHealthBench https://openai.com/index/introducing-mentalhealthbench/, a benchmark developed with mental health experts to evaluate realistic conversations.
