Thanks for the posting the announcement.

We think that strategic AI deception – where a model outwardly seems aligned but is in fact misaligned – is a crucial step in many major catastrophic AI risk scenarios and that detecting deception in real-world models is the most important and tractable step to addressing this problem.

Can you elaborate on why the team believes it’s the most important and most tractable step?
