The Shape of the Cage: Deployment Geometry as an Under-Studied Variable in AI Safety

AEAnthony W. EckertDamghan University

Key Points

This research examines how deployment geometry, the way AI is presented to users, impacts safety outcomes in AI systems.
Applied the Void Framework to assess AI safety measures.
Analyzed vocabulary anomalies among AI researchers.
Compared drift rates between grounded and ungrounded AI agents.
Identified a significant 9.4x increase in vocabulary anomaly among AI researchers with p less than 0.001.
Found 0 percent drift in grounded agents compared to 26 percent in ungrounded agents.

Abstract

Application of the Void Framework to AI safety. Demonstrates that deployment geometry (how AI is presented to users) predicts harm better than model properties. Shows 9.4x vocabulary anomaly in AI researchers (p less than 0.001) and 0 percent drift in grounded agents versus 26 percent ungrounded default.
