# capability generalization

The extension of an AI system's useful problem-solving competence from its training conditions to substantially novel tasks, domains, or distributions. In alignment discussions, especially the sharp-left-turn argument, the concern is that capability generalization may extend farther than the system's learned alignment or corrigibility properties.
