Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Situational awareness in GPAI systems refers to the ability to understand its context, environment, and use this to inform action. This can range from basic environmental mapping and trajectory estimation (as in a robot vacuum cleaner) to sophisticated understanding of its training, evaluation, or deployment status. In more advanced systems this may enable undesired behavior, such as deceptive behavior during evaluations, or persuasion during deployment."
