A proposed alignment assessment framework aims to evaluate unreleased near-frontier AI models for potentially harmful misaligned behaviours by reviewing internal training and evaluation data, and assessing risks that might not be apparent from observed incidents alone.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

AI developers focused on safety must prepare for detailed internal audits of model behaviour, not just public performance. You need to secure transparent access to training and evaluation logs now or risk regulatory delays and reputational damage.
