What is decision drift?

My idea is similar to replicative drift. Where after every copy there is a slight degradation or difference. So when AI continues to make choices based on the original objective the real intent of the objective is drifted away from.

Even though the objective is still there it will begin to make choices that are unexpected. And may take a route to accomplish the objective that is unforeseen and have unexpected consequences.

May not be the best name for it but not my expertise.

Interesting idea, could be a problem. Definitely something to consider.
