Pre-emptive Risks: AI risks do not only begin at public release or widespread internal use; they can manifest during model training.
Security Monitoring: As a countermeasure to cyber critical threats, Chain-of-Thought (CoT) monitoring has been expanded to cover all agentic applications, including training and evaluation.
Trigger Mechanism: Flagged anomalies trigger a security response to review and interrupt high-risk activities.
