  "summary": "Quantitative analysis mapping 15+ AI safety interventions to specific risks reveals critical misallocation: 40% of 2024 funding (\\$400M+) flows to RLHF methods showing only 10-20% effectiveness against deceptive alignment, while interpretability research (\\$52M total, 40-50% effectiveness) and AI Control (70-80% theoretical effectiveness, \\$10M funding) remain severely underfunded. Provides explicit reallocation recommendations: reduce RLHF from 40% to 25%, increase interpretability from 15% to 30%, and establish AI Control at 20% of technical safety budgets.",
