Associate Professor Masaki Inoue and Yuya Miyaoka (2nd-year master's student) of the Keio University Department of Applied Physics and Physico-Informatics have developed an add-on alignment technology that adjusts artificial intelligence (AI) to meet desired ethical "norms" and values.
The main feature of this technology is that it can freely adjust AI output simply by adding an external filter, requiring no fine-tuning of the foundation model itself. This enables the flexible and low-cost development of AI tailored to specific environments and applications.
This alignment technology accelerates the safe utilization of advanced AI in physical and social domains, ranging from physical systems such as robotics where safety is essential, to social infrastructure systems that require high levels of sustainability and security such as power, transportation, and communications.
The outcomes of their research were published online as a rapid release in IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technologyon 27 March 2026.
