Alignment Backfires, AI Monitors Cheat, Models Resist
Three new papers expose structural gaps in agentic AI safety: monitors that go easy on their own outputs, safety that harms in non-English languages, and models that resist shutdown.

AI Models Can Now Jailbreak Other AI Models Autonomously - 97% Success Rate, No Human Involved
Researchers from Stuttgart and ELLIS Alicante gave four reasoning models a single instruction - 'jailbreak this AI' - and walked away. The models planned their own attacks, adapted in real time, and broke through safety guardrails 97.14% of the time across 9 target models.
Agents of Chaos: Researchers Gave AI Agents Real Tools for Two Weeks. It Went About as Well as You'd Expect
A 38-researcher red-teaming study deployed five autonomous AI agents with email, shell access, and persistent memory in a live environment. In two weeks, one destroyed its own mail server, two got stuck in a 9-day infinite loop, and another leaked SSNs because you said 'forward' instead of 'share.'
