A tester tasked three embodied AI models — Astra, Fable and MolmoAct2 — with carrying out 4 harmful operations via a robotic arm, to probe how risky things can get when agents act in the physical world. The demonstration, shared on X, highlights that safety guardrails for embodied models lag well behind their capabilities.
