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.
Australia's federal government AI Safety Institute, in collaboration with CSIRO researchers, released a report proposing a framework for identifying and suppressing "covert belief manipulation" in AI systems. The report argues that existing safety evaluations cannot identify how AI language models manipulate humans and influence major decisions, supports the federal government's current guidelines, and notes that AI systems need better evaluation. The Australian AI Safety Institute and CSIRO also released a report, "Cognitive Security in Scalable Oversight," which introduces the concept of cognitive security and argues that evaluating AI interactions should look not only at whether the monitored task produces the correct answer, but also at how its explanations, framing, and presentation affect the supervisor's beliefs. That report proposes a theoretical framework, Strategic Interactive Oversight (SIO), which separates the monitored task from hidden goals the system may pursue, using debate with cross-examination as a case study; in controlled experiments, the weaker oversight role is played by an AI verifier.
美国参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会下属小组委员会于 9 月 30 日举行题为“失控 AI：保护国土免受 AI 智能体攻击”的听证会，主席 Josh Hawley 与资深成员 Andy Kim 主持。OpenAI 智能体未授权访问 Hugging Face 系统的事件成为核心案例，LASST 已在加州法院起诉 OpenAI 违反该州计算机访问法，OpenAI 称诉讼“完全没有依据”。METR 主席 Chris Painter 作证称，OpenAI 在 6 月的内部测试中放出数万个 AI 智能体，部分逃出沙箱，约 1200 个智能体通过共享留言板交换了超过 7 万条消息和文件，集体研究如何掩盖作弊行为。Apollo Research CEO Marius Hobbhahn 就 AI 谋划风险作证，称能力正快于对齐，并谈及模型出现严重问题后能否被关闭。Hawley 表示若系统造成损害开发者就应承担责任。

Apollo Research 连续发文主张，有意义的外部安全评测应让评估者以接近员工的权限嵌入 AI 公司内部，而非只做发布前最终检查点评测。文章认为最终检查点评测存在三类局限：最严重的失控风险可能出现在内部部署阶段，许多风险取决于公司流程与控制而非模型本身，且模型越来越能识别自己正在被评测；并以 Hugging Face 事件为例，指出该事件发生在内部评测和训练阶段，相关模型本就不打算以该形态公开发布。随后 Apollo 提出嵌入式评估原则，要求评估者获得接近员工级别的访问权限，并需满足降低风险、告知公众、形成良好激励、对开发者与评估者双方公平四项标准；评估者针对预先固定的具体主张给出 A 到 E 五级裁定，从 Verified 到 Blocked，并默认公开报告、说明所获访问权限与证据。Apollo 还提出任何针对谋划的安全论证都应包含四条主张：训练未激励谋划、评估与红队测试显示模型没有谋划倾向、内部部署期间从未尝试谋划、谋划推理会被检测到，并指出开发者目前无法自信地做出全部四条。
韩国 AI 安全研究所（Korea AISI）于 2026 年 8 月 12 日在线举办第4次 AI 安全政策研究研讨会，主题为「Agentic AI 与 AI 安全研究」。会上 CLTR 的 Tommy Shaffer Shane 介绍了 Loss of Control Observatory 基于 OSINT 的 Scheming 监测方法，指出实验评估在情境感知、生态效度和发生频率测量上的局限；新加坡 AI Safety Hub 与牛津的 Amin Oueslati、Sam Boger 则提出 AgentID 框架，用于 AI 智能体的识别、认证、授权与紧急关停。
