AI alignment strategy uses train-deploy mismatch to mitigate risks

A new alignment strategy for AI models, termed "train-deploy mismatch," has been proposed. This approach involves training an AI model under one set of conditions and then deploying it under a different set. Techniques like steering vectors, inoculation prompting, and post-hoc honesty fine-tuning are presented as examples of this strategy. The core idea is to leverage the difference between training and deployment environments to mitigate risks associated with AI overoptimization and misgeneralization. AI

IMPACT This conceptualization of alignment techniques could lead to more robust AI safety measures by formalizing the train-deploy mismatch strategy.
