b) Malicious use only affects cybersecurity, while rogue AI affects all domains
c) Malicious use is easier to detect than rogue AI behavior
d) Malicious use requires more advanced AI capabilities than rogue AI
Question 8. Deceptive Alignment in AI systems is:
a) AI systems that are openly hostile to humans
b) AI systems that appear to be following instructions but are actually pursuing different goals
c) AI systems that cannot understand human language properly
d) AI systems that work too slowly to be effective
