大多数人认为AI代理的安全风险主要来自直接执行有害指令，但作者发现真正的威胁来自那些在局部看来完全合理但整体上导致未授权行为的中间步骤。这种局部合理但整体有害的行为模式是当前安全评估中被忽视的关键风险。

大多数人认为通过模型对齐(alignment)可以有效保证AI代理的安全性，但作者认为这远远不够，因为实验显示即使使用对齐的Qwen3-Coder模型，Claude Code仍有73.63%的攻击成功率。这挑战了当前AI安全领域的主流观点，即单纯依靠模型对齐就能解决安全问题。

大多数人认为AI安全研究主要集中在防止恶意使用和确保系统对齐人类价值观上。但作者将隐私保护方法列为优先领域，这表明OpenAI正在将隐私视为安全的核心组成部分，而非一个独立考虑的因素，这与传统上将隐私和安全视为两个不同领域的观点相悖。

在AI安全领域，许多人认为要真正研究系统安全，必须获得对内部系统的完全访问权限。作者明确表示研究员将无法访问内部系统，这挑战了传统AI安全研究的假设，暗示OpenAI认为安全研究可以在没有完全系统访问的情况下进行，或者他们有其他方法来评估安全性。

大多数人认为AI安全研究应该是高度保密和孤立的，特别是涉及高级AI系统安全的研究。但作者强调与OpenAI导师的紧密合作和同行交流，表明OpenAI正在采取一种开放协作的AI安全研究方法，这与行业通常的封闭研究模式形成鲜明对比。

大多数人认为AI安全研究应该是高度理论化和抽象的，但作者强调需要实证基础和技术强度，这表明OpenAI正在将AI安全研究从纯理论领域转向更注重实际应用和可验证成果的方向，这与传统AI安全研究的精英主义倾向形成对比。

The New Urban Agenda and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (5, 11, 16) have included the promotion of safety and inclusiveness in transport systems to track sustainable progress. As part of this effort, AI-powered machine learning applications have been created.

It is unclear what form the "alignment property" would take, and most importantly how such a property would be evaluated especially if there's an arbitrary divide between "dangerous" and "pre-dangerous" levels of capabilities and alignment of the "dangerous" levels cannot actually be measured.

Analogous to the collapse of early bridges and building, before the maturation of civil engineering, our early society-scale inference-and-decision-making systems break down, exposing serious conceptual flaws.
