Comment by Hector Zenil
Associate Professor at King's College London; researcher in algorithmic information theory, complexity science, and AI alignment
An AI system powerful enough to exhibit artificial general intelligence will inevitably explore behaviors we didn't predict or plan for, making perfect guaranteed alignment impossible. [...] This introduces new guidelines for orchestrating future AI systems, showing that values such as openness, diversity and tolerance are not only morally desirable but also technically advantageous.

Source URL (techxplore.com) returned HTTP 403. Web search confirms Hector Zenil and colleagues published research in PNAS Nexus (April 2026) proving that perfect AI alignment is mathematically impossible, using Gödel's incompleteness theorem and Turing's undecidability. Multiple sources (IEEE Spectrum, EurekAlert, ScienceBlog) covered this research. Vote "against" is correct: Zenil proves "perfect guaranteed alignment impossible" mathematically. Year 2026 confirmed. Author attribution confirmed (Associate Professor at King's College London). Could not directly verify source URL content.

Source URL (techxplore.com/news/2026-04/alignment-ai-human-values-mathematically.html) returned 403 Forbidden. Web search confirms the article exists and is about Zenil's research published in PNAS Nexus 2026, titled "Neurodivergent influenceability in agentic AI as a contingent solution to the AI alignment problem." The research uses Godel's incompleteness theorem to argue perfect alignment is mathematically impossible. The quote about "An AI system powerful enough to exhibit AGI will inevitably explore behaviors we didn't predict" and the recommendation for "openness, diversity and tolerance" as technically advantageous is consistent with the paper's findings. Vote "against" (AI alignment is solvable) is correct - Zenil argues perfect alignment is impossible. Year 2026 is correct. Source could not be directly verified due to site blocking.
