Towards AI epidemiology: a measurement standardisation framework for prospective risk detection
Researchers have proposed a new framework for standardizing measurements of AI system performance and alignment. This framework aims to compress expert-AI interactions into comparable data fields, enabling prospective risk detection without needing access to the AI's internal workings. The proposed system could provide immediate alignment scores for experts during deployment and a basis for institutional monitoring, potentially leading to an "AI epidemiology" that identifies risks through correlated variables.
