The Watchtower Imperative: Lifespan-Calibrated Evaluation for Frontier AI
AI 导读
研究分析 2017-2026 年记录在案的人类全生命周期伤害事件后指出，现有 AI 安全评估隐含以成年用户为默认模型，导致儿童、青少年与老年人风险被系统性低估。作者提出覆盖六个生命阶段的“寿命脆弱性矩阵”与五项发展调节因子，发现风险分布呈非单调性、两端峰值且治理覆盖不对称。配套提出寿命设计原则及由自动化模拟、专家红队测试、部署后监控构成的三层外部评估框架，直接对应矩阵风险单元。

Abstract:The gap between AI capability deployment and safety assurance is structural and cannot be closed through internal evaluations alone. Analyzing documented harms (2017-2026) across the human lifespan reveals that disparate incidents --- from voice assistants endangering children to AI companions implicated in adolescent suicide and automated care denials for the elderly --- reflect a single failure: evaluating systems against an implicit adult user model. We introduce five developmental moderators structured into a Lifespan Vulnerability Matrix across six life stages. The matrix reveals a nonmonotonic risk distribution: vulnerability peaks at both ends of the lifespan, governance coverage is asymmetrical, and authority to convert model errors into real-world impact is scrutinized least. We then propose a set of lifespan design principles generalizing existing child-protective instruments, and an institution-agnostic, three-tier external evaluation framework --- comprising automated simulation, expert red teaming, and post-deployment monitoring --- indexed directly to matrix risk cells.
