A new paper argues that data collected for operational monitoring or regulatory compliance is often misinterpreted as evaluation data for deployed AI systems. This measurement validity problem is exemplified by automated driving systems, where disengagement and crash reports provide operational evidence but are not inherently suitable for comparative safety claims. The authors propose an "evaluation contract" to make explicit the assumptions required for interpreting operational data as evidence of comparative performance, emphasizing that data useful for monitoring is not automatically valid for evaluation.
