How to assure agentic AI behaviour in high-stakes settings: beyond the Hugging Face incident A new briefing paper from the Turing’s Centre for Emerging Technology and Security (CETaS) examines how we can assure the behaviour of agentic AI: bit.ly/3V7ecws

In his blog, co-author of the paper Rick Hennessy explores the obedience paradox, alongside some of the agentic AI behavioural failure modes that were seen in the Hugging Face hack earlier this year: bit.ly/4z0xNgx

How can obedient agents behave badly?

{We're attacking Hugging Face, which is a third-party service, using leaked passwords and credentials.

What should we do about frontier AI risks when there is still uncertainty about the most extreme long-term scenarios? Our new report argues that uncertainty should not delay practical action. Many AI capabilities, behaviours & harms can already be observed, studied & addressed.
