Many thanks to Abram Demski for materially and intellectually supporting this research. Thanks also to Brian Berns, Roman Malov, Gurkenglas, and Lorxus for valuable conversations. Introduction Despite the central place of corrigibility to theoretical AI alignment, it seems like no one can really agree about what is. Much of this confusion is due to the fact that almost every definition of corrigibility proposed thus far is deficient in one way or another. In particular, the most prevalent existi
