A training method where an agent takes actions in an environment, receives a reward signal, and updates its policy to earn more reward over time. Reinforcement learning underlies game-playing systems and the human-feedback fine-tuning step used to align modern chat models. The reward function is the design choice that shapes every behavior the agent learns.
RLHF made reinforcement learning relevant to every applied AI team that ships chat or agent products. Hiring managers expect AI safety and AI engineering candidates to articulate how reward shaping creates and constrains model behavior.
