Backchaining Loss of Control Mitigations from Mission-Specific Benchmarks in National Security
Affordances and permissions are promising and timely safety levers for mitigating Loss of Control (LoC) threats in high-stakes deployment contexts, such as national security. Deployers in defense and intelligence could rely on several approaches to identify which affordances and permissions should be prioritized, such as structured threat modelling, pre-deployment agentic evaluations, post-deployment continuous monitoring, and AI safety cases. This paper proposes a complementary and empirical me
