Personal Life and ๐ถ Adorable Puppy:
I'm Ruiyang Sun (/ruฬฏeษชฬฏ jษล swษn/, or Ryan Sun; ๅญ็ฟ้ณ). I'm a ๐ senior undergraduate student pursuing a double major in ๐งฒ Physics and ๐ค Artificial Intelligence (AI) at ๐๏ธ Peking University.
I have previously worked in the areas of ๐ Safe Reinforcement Learning (Safe RL) and ๐ค๐งญ LLM Alignment, under the guidance of Prof. Yaodong Yang at the PKU Pair Lab.
Currently, my research is focused on ๐ฑ Emergent Socio-Dynamic Behavior and ๐งฉ Alignment Issues in ๐ค๐ฅ AI-Human Societies, particularly focusing on advanced AI systems such as ๐ฃ๏ธ Large Language Models (LLMs), ๐ผ๏ธ Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), and ๐ค๐ผ LLM-powered Autonomous Agents. I aim for my research to contribute to the safer, more harmonious, and dignified integration of ๐ค AI systems into ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ human society. Here are some of the key research questions I'm exploring:
When ๐ค AI systems are treated as human-like entities in AI-human mixed ecosystems, can we observe the ๐ emergence of human-like socio-dynamic behaviors from these AI systems?
In what ways do the behaviors of ๐ค AI systems diverge from those of ๐ฅ humans, and how can these distinctions inform our understanding of human-AI ๐ค interactions?
How can emergent behaviors (e.g., ๐ค social learning, ๐ค cooperation) enhance the intelligence of ๐ค AI systems and the collective ๐ง intelligence of AI-human societies?
What forms of โ ๏ธ misalignment might arise between ๐ฅ human and ๐ค AI systems in AI-human mixed ecosystems, and what strategies can be used to ๐ ๏ธ mitigate these misalignments effectively?
I believe that to develop more ๐ค intelligent and ethical AI systems, we need to draw insights not only from ๐ป Computer Science but also from fields like ๐ง Psychology, ๐ฅ Sociology, and ๐ง Cognitive Science. I welcome discussions from people with diverse perspectives! ๐
Besides research, I'm also a passionate ๐ Apple developer, and I am currently working on creating a new ๐ค AI-powered teamwork research toolkit. I'd love to discuss or collaborate on this with anyone interested! ๐ค
