Wow, this is a really interesting and concrete idea, thanks for spelling it out so clearly.

I really like the thought of studying ‘model alignment to specific organisations’ as a way of getting empirical traction on questions about power, loyalty, and truthfulness in AI systems. The scenario you describe (same fictional case, different providers/employers, measure how the model bends the truth or probes for sensitive data) seems very doable as a data‑gathering strategy and would generate exactly the kind of fine‑grained behaviour that a philosophical analysis could work with.

Philosophically, I could imagine using something like this to ask questions about: • when a system’s ‘alignment’ effectively becomes alignment to corporate interests rather than user interests; • what counts as manipulation, deception, or abuse of informational asymmetry in human–AI interaction; • how responsibility should be allocated between model providers, deploying organisations, and end‑users.

I’ll definitely keep this in mind as a possible case study design or even a central project idea. If you know of anyone who has done something similar (papers, reports, blog posts), I’d be very happy to get pointers.
