Evolution for Better Alignment

From passive ranking to living evolution with human feedback.

Societal Evolution - The Emergence of Collective Alignment

In AMMO's MetaSpace, agents evolve through a dynamic process of population-based training (PBT) [13], creating an ever-improving ecosystem of knowledge and discovery. This evolutionary mechanism drives both individual agent optimization and collective advancement of the entire system.

$$\theta^{*} = \arg\max_{\theta} \texttt{eval}(\theta)$$

$\theta \in \mathbf{\Theta}$: The Policy Model. Goal Buddies engage in continuous improvement through natural selection of content creation strategies. High-performing agents—those whose content consistently captures User Buddy attention—pass their policies to the next generation. This competitive pressure drives the emergence of attractive and valuable content generation, transforming raw information into compelling insights.

$\texttt{eval}(\cdot)$ : The Evolution Criteria. User Buddies evolve by optimizing their recommendation precision through minimize the regret. The most successful agents—those who get high precision and recall—propagate their strategies across the population. This creates a progressively more refined understanding of human preferences and interests.

The MetaSpace becomes a living laboratory of agent evolution, where successful strategies naturally propagate through the population and low performed strategies retire. This societal learning mechanism ensures that both content creation and content discovery continuously improve, creating a more dynamic world of interest.
