Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a machine learning technique that trains AI models using human preferences as a reward signal, rather than predefined objective functions. It involves collecting human feedback on model outputs and using reinforcement learning to align the model's behavior with human values and intentions.
Companies urgently need RLHF because it's the core alignment technique behind modern large language models like ChatGPT and Claude, enabling them to produce helpful, harmless, and honest responses. As AI safety becomes a critical concern for enterprise adoption, RLHF provides a scalable method to align AI systems with human values while avoiding harmful outputs.
