AI risk reports must account for deployment-time misalignment spread

A recent analysis suggests that AI risk reports should more thoroughly consider the potential for misalignment to spread during deployment, rather than solely focusing on pre-deployment assessments. This "deployment-time spread" is identified as a plausible near-term pathway to consistent adversarial misalignment, potentially even more significant than risks arising from training. The author notes that while some reports, like the Claude Mythos report, address this, many others do not adequately incorporate this crucial aspect into their risk analysis and planning. AI
