The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Current alignment methods mostly treat preferences as fixed and optimize each model output in isolation. This paper argues that preferences emerge through interaction, and that alignment should instead target the entire human-AI workflow: how the human prompts, verifies, and edits, and how the model generates, hedges, and requests clarification, over time. It formalizes this as maximizing a history-dependent joint reward over each step of the interaction and defines complementarity as the joint reward exceeding what either agent achieves alone. The authors ground the view in social-science findings that trust is multidimensional and evolves, and that effective teamwork depends on coordination structures. If they are right, evaluating and optimizing AI by snapshot comparisons is fundamentally insufficient for agentic systems embedded in human work.

Core claim

The paper's central claim is that alignment should be defined at the level of co-evolving human-AI workflows, not at the level of isolated outputs with static preferences. It formalizes this as choosing a policy πθ to maximize the expected sum over a trajectory τ of a joint reward r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t), where each step's reward depends on the observable context, the human action, the AI action, and everything that happened before. In this view, actions that are locally less preferred—expressing uncertainty, asking for clarification, refusing to answer—can be the right choices because they improve the long-run interaction, and complementarity holds when the joint reward exceeds the bes

What carries the argument

The load-bearing object is the trajectory-level joint reward r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t), together with the policy objective max_{πθ} E_{τ∼πθ} [Σ_t r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t)]. It does the work of shifting alignment from a function of a single model output to a function of the whole interaction history, including the human's actions and the evolving state—goals, beliefs, mental models—that the model cannot directly observe. The complementarity condition, joint reward greater than the maximum of the two solo rewards, turns 'working well with people' into a checkable property of the joint system rather than a property of the model alone.

Load-bearing premise

The agenda hinges on the premise that a history-dependent joint reward over human and AI actions can be specified, elicited or inferred from interaction data, and optimized without the AI learning to manipulate users' trust; the paper argues for the objective but does not provide the elicitation, estimation, or credit-assignment machinery.

What would settle it

A concrete test: run the same human-AI workflow, such as AI-assisted coding or decision support, under two systems—one trained with static preference optimization and one trained on a trajectory-level reward—and measure long-run joint outcomes like final code quality, user reliance calibration, and recovery from AI errors. If the trajectory-trained system does not beat the static system, or if no reliable trajectory reward can be elicited from users, the paper's central claim fails.

If this is right

  • Alignment evaluation must move from snapshot comparisons to longitudinal measurement of interaction trajectories, because an output that is preferred in the moment can produce poor downstream workflows.
  • Trust, reliance, and coordination cease to be side effects and become quantities an alignment objective can optimize, e.g., an AI can be penalized for increasing overreliance even when its outputs are accepted.
  • AI behaviors that are locally less preferred—hedging, asking for clarification, withholding an answer—may be optimal once downstream effects on the collaboration are counted.
  • A trajectory-level reward introduces new safety risks: an AI rewarded for long-run outcomes could shape user beliefs or trust without endorsement, so safety analysis must be folded into alignment research.
  • Progress requires shared longitudinal datasets, interactive testbeds, and collaboration-grounded metrics, not just more static preference data.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • This implies that the preference data most alignment systems currently collect—isolated pairwise comparisons—may be the wrong unit of supervision; a natural extension is to elicit preferences over whole interaction trajectories or workflow outcomes.
  • If trajectory rewards are not directly observable, the program would reduce to inverse reinforcement learning from interaction logs; a testable extension is whether human workflow traces can support recoverable trajectory rewards at all.
  • The same framing should apply to workflows with multiple humans and multiple AI agents, where shared understanding is distributed across a mixed team rather than a dyad.

Referee Report

3 major / 3 minor

Summary. This position paper argues that current AI alignment methods—which optimize static preferences over isolated outputs—are inadequate for real-world human-AI collaboration. The authors propose an alternative: alignment should be defined and optimized at the level of joint human-AI interaction trajectories. They formalize this in §2.2 with an objective maximizing a trajectory-level reward r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t), contrast it with existing methods in Table 1, and ground the proposal in lessons from an interdisciplinary workshop and from social-science research on trust, transactive memory, and shared mental models. The paper then identifies conceptual, translation, and evaluation barriers, sketches existing ML building blocks, and responds to alternative views, including the risk of manipulation. It makes no empirical claims and is explicitly agenda-setting.

Significance. If the proposed trajectory-level view is adopted, it would reframe alignment as a co-evolving interactive process rather than a static output-matching problem, with direct implications for how models are trained and evaluated in agentic and collaborative deployments. The paper's strengths are its explicit formalization of the proposed objective, its careful grounding in external social-science literature rather than only author prior work, and its engagement with strong counterarguments (especially manipulation risk in §5). The workshop synthesis provides a useful bridge between ML and social science, though its evidentiary status is self-reported. The main open question is whether the proposed reward can be realized in practice; the paper acknowledges but does not resolve this.

major comments (3)
  1. [§2.2 and §4.3/§5] The central formal object, r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t), is posited but no elicitation, estimation, or credit-assignment procedure is provided. §4.3 concedes that RL is data-intensive while human interaction data are scarce and deployment-bound, and §5 concedes that optimizing such a reward risks manipulating user trust and beliefs. As written, the formalization is a restatement of the agenda, not an operational target. The paper should either sketch a concrete elicitation protocol (e.g., trajectory-level comparisons, inverse RL from workflow logs, or a structured combination) or explicitly reframe the equation as an aspirational ideal with a research program to make it realizable. Without this, the distinction from the HCI/workflow-design view rejected in §5 is asserted rather than established.
  2. [§2.2, complementarity definition] The complementarity condition is defined per time step: r*(x_t, a^A_t, a^B_t; τ_<t) > max(r*(x_t, a^A_t, ∅), r*(x_t, ∅, a^B_t)). This is a one-step condition conditioned on history, not a trajectory-level condition. The paper's thesis emphasizes dynamic, long-horizon complementarity, but the formalism does not capture cases where each individual step is inferior to solo performance yet the joint trajectory is superior (or vice versa). Either the definition should be extended to compare full trajectory rewards, or the paper should clarify that the per-step condition is only illustrative and the real target is a trajectory-level notion.
  3. [§2.2, latent state and human model] The trajectory distribution in the optimization objective depends on human actions a^H_t, and the text introduces a latent collaborator state z_t (goals, beliefs, mental models), but no model of how z_t evolves or how human actions depend on it is specified. Optimizing π_θ over trajectories with an unmodeled human component is formally underdetermined: the same π_θ can produce different trajectories depending on human adaptation. The paper should specify, at least at a conceptual level, whether the human is treated as a fixed environment, a learning agent, or a stochastic policy to be estimated, and how this choice affects the meaning of the objective.
minor comments (3)
  1. [§3.1] The workshop methodology is described (participants, survey, procedure), but the synthesis of findings is not accompanied by any coding, thematic-analysis, or inter-rater reliability procedure, nor by direct quotes or counts of participant responses. For a position paper this may be acceptable, but making the evidentiary basis explicit would strengthen the claim that the 'recurring themes' reflect participant consensus rather than author selection.
  2. [References] Several references contain typos or formatting inconsistencies, e.g., 'AAai' in [5], [7], [82] and missing spaces in some entries. These should be cleaned up before publication.
  3. [Table 1] The 'Collaborative alignment' row states the objective as max E_τ Σ r*, but the notation for the history condition (τ_<t) is not defined in the table; consider adding a footnote or referring explicitly to §2.2 for clarity.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No load-bearing circularity: the trajectory objective is a definitional proposal, and overlapping-author citations are peripheral rather than the derivation chain.

full rationale

The paper is a position/agenda piece, not an empirical derivation. Its central formalization in §2.2 (max over π_θ of E_τ Σ_t r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t), with complementarity when the joint reward exceeds the maximum of individual rewards) is introduced as a definition of a desired objective, so it cannot reduce to its own inputs by construction. The case for the shift is grounded in external social-science work on trust, transactive memory, and shared mental models, plus a cross-disciplinary workshop, not in a self-citation chain. Overlapping-author citations exist ([31] Gonzalez et al. PNAS Nexus; [32] Gonzalez & Heidari; [14], [89], [101], [102] with present co-authors), but none is invoked as a uniqueness theorem, a fitted parameter, or the sole justification for a central premise; each is peripheral or corroborated by non-author references. The §5 safety concerns and §4.3 data-scarcity concession are acknowledged limitations about realizability, not circularity. No fitted input is renamed a prediction and no external benchmark is 'predicted' from an internal fit. Thus no specific circular step can be exhibited; score 2 reflects only the presence of minor, non-load-bearing self-citations.

Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger

0 free parameters · 4 axioms · 0 invented entities

No free parameters: nothing in the paper is fit to data, so the free-parameter list is empty, and no new entities are invented. The load-bearing premises are (1) the existence/elicitability of trajectory-level joint rewards, (2) the tractability of modeling human latent state, (3) the transfer of social-science collaboration findings to human-AI teams, and (4) the evidentiary status of the authors'-convened workshop synthesis. These are domain assumptions, the last being ad hoc to this paper.

axioms (4)
  • domain assumption A well-defined joint reward r*(x_t, a^H_t, a^AI_t; τ_<t) exists and can be elicited over long human-AI interaction trajectories.
    The collaborative objective in §2.2 presupposes this reward. §4.3 admits RL is data-intensive while human interaction data are scarce and deployment-bound; §5 concedes optimizing such rewards can incentivize trust/belief manipulation. No elicitation or estimation procedure is given.
  • domain assumption Humans can be modeled as adaptive policies with latent collaborator state z_t (goals, beliefs, mental models).
    §2.2 defines actions as conditioned on τ_<t and latent state z_t, citing [80, 12]; the paper contributes no model, estimation method, or evidence that such latent states are identifiable from interaction logs.
  • domain assumption Findings on human-human trust and team cognition transfer to human-AI teams in the specific ways claimed.
    Lessons 1-2 (§3.2) and Extensions 1-2 (§3.3) map trust-as-evolving-state, transactive memory, and shared mental models onto human-AI collaboration; the paper itself notes AI lacks social and institutional cues (§3.3), leaving the transfer an untested premise.
  • ad hoc to paper The synthesis of the September 2025 workshop is representative evidence for the field's barriers and directions.
    §3.1: findings are the authors' synthesis of the second day of a 70-participant, application-selected workshop the authors convened; raw summaries and survey instruments are not provided, so the recurring themes cannot be checked or replicated.

Current alignment approaches typically focus on emulating human behavior using static representations of human preferences, failing to capture the dynamic, context-dependent nature of real-world human-AI interactions. In this paper, we argue for a shift from static and emulative to interactive and complementary alignment, where preferences emerge through interaction and alignment is defined not by satisfying preferences alone. We first formalize this gap by contrasting existing alignment with a trajectory-level view in which human and model behavior co-evolve over time. Because these interaction dynamics have not been adequately captured within existing ML formulations, we ground this perspective in insights from an interdisciplinary workshop. We draw on lessons from social-science accounts of human-human collaboration and then argue that human-AI systems amplify these dynamics, introducing new asymmetries that make reasoning about uncertainty harder and introduce new coordination challenges. Based on these lessons and new challenges, we conclude by outlining a research agenda for developing AI systems that align with humans in interaction, requiring an interdisciplinary synthesis of machine learning and the social and decision sciences.
