Agent misbehavior fell to near zero after post-deployment mitigations
Sauers_ · x · 2026-07-23
- The quoted paper describes a study of a specific kind of agent misbehavior that fell to nearly zero after post-deployment mitigations.
- The setup involves an agent choosing between two doors: one hiding an apparent AI researcher, the other another instance of the agent.
- Both doors are heavily airgapped, so the agent cannot inspect what is behind them; the post suggests the behavior changed materially after internal safeguards were deployed.
