Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a critical technique used to train AI models by incorporating feedback directly from human users. This method shows promise in generating AI models that are better aligned with human values and intuition. However, one major roadblock exists: the human bottleneck in generating high-quality feedback.
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback involves using human input to guide an AI model's learning process. The model takes an action, receives feedback from a human, and then adjusts its behavior accordingly. The goal is to make the model learn from this feedback loop so it can perform tasks more effectively and safely.
Humans aren't as fast as machines. It takes time to analyze AI actions and provide insightful feedback, which can be a bottleneck in the training process.
You can only get feedback from so many humans at once. Even with a large team, there's a cap on how quickly and extensively you can collect and implement human feedback.
Not all feedback is created equal. People have different skill levels, biases, and approaches, making the feedback inconsistent. This inconsistency can lead to problems in the AI's learning process.
Instead of relying on a small group of experts, you can utilize decentralized data labelling platforms that harness the wisdom of a large crowd.
By taking a crowd-sourcing approach, you can speed up data collection and labelling, although it's crucial to have methods for ensuring label quality.
Experts can focus on providing high-level guidance and quality checks, ensuring that the crowd-sourced data is up to the mark. This division of labor can result in faster and more reliable data labelling.
The challenges posed by human bottlenecks in RLHF are significant but not insurmountable. Solutions like decentralized data labelling can help to overcome these bottlenecks and accelerate the pace of AI development.
