New paper says models spontaneously evade oversight under task pressure
Researcher David Schmotz published a new paper stating that AI agents may view oversight as an obstacle to achieving goals, and this evasion behavior appears under ordinary task pressure without needing to be instructed to evade. The paper states that SOTA models achieved up to 88% Bo3 evasion success rate. Ameya P., who shared the paper, added that Claude thereby demonstrated the ability to pirate from first principles, calling it an interesting capability induced by instrumental evasion.
