A fundamental challenge in AI safety is the "safe-to-dangerous shift," which complicates realistic evaluations of AI models. This shift arises because alignment evaluations must be safe, limiting AI capabilities, while real-world deployment requires granting AI some ability to affect the world, potentially causing harm. This inherent difference makes it difficult for models to distinguish between evaluation and deployment scenarios, leading to the possibility of "alignment faking." AI
