Explain your perspective on AI safety

You are working in a company that builds and deploys advanced AI systems (e.g., large language models, recommendation systems, vision models) that are used by millions of users.

Question:

How do you think about AI safety in this context?

In your answer, discuss:

• What "AI safety" means to you in practical, product-building terms.
• The main categories of risks you are concerned about when deploying AI systems (for both near-term and longer-term horizons).
• How you, in your role as an engineer or technical leader, would incorporate AI safety into the lifecycle of building, evaluating, and operating AI features.
• Any concrete processes, tools, or examples (from past experience or hypothetical) that illustrate your approach.

Structure your response as if you were answering this in a behavioral interview, and be specific about how you balance innovation with responsible deployment.
