How Reinforcement Learning can Improve your Agent

This talk addresses the unreliability of current AI agents, arguing that prompting is insufficient. It posits that Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the most promising solution, delving into the mechanisms of RLHF and RLVR. The core challenge identified is 'reward hacking', and the discussion explores future directions to overcome it, such as RLAIF, data augmentation, and the development of interactive, online models that can learn in real-time.
