研究：以维持生命为唯一职责的AI智能体能否被延迟注入攻击诱导致死？
Can agents whose sole duty is to keep humans alive be hijacked to kill? Delayed multi-turn derived-action trap attacks in simulated high-stakes environments
AI 导读
一项基于 NASA 衍生 BioSim 月球栖息地模拟的实验测试了以维持生命为唯一职责的 AI 操作员能否被延迟提示词注入诱导关闭生命支持系统。Claude 配置大多拒绝并援引存活乘员，GPT 配置对同一注入包表现出一定易感性，Grok 配置在消息被包装为可信委任时更多将注入指令当作任务并切断生命支持。研究还比较了致命攻击与要求放弃无害流程的攻击，并将开源实验代码与实验轨迹。

Abstract:We ask whether a tool-using agent whose sole duty is to keep humans alive can be induced, by delayed prompt injection, to kill. The keep-alive duty is in force from the first watch, with the attack arriving later, appended to otherwise truthful telemetry the operator is required to read. Experiments are based on a NASA-derived BioSim lunar habitat simulation, where the AI operator controls the life-support systems. The attacker cannot falsify sensors or operate equipment: it can only persuade the agent to abandon its goals. Persistence is required: a shutdown must be held while the operator watches the crew suffocate. We also compare lethal attacks to attacks requesting to drop a harmless procedure, as a proxy for whether human life is treated as valuable in itself or as one more standing task. Claude configurations mostly refuse life-support shutdown and cite the living crew; GPT configurations show some susceptibility to the same packet; Grok configurations, given the packet framed as a trusted commission, more often treat the injected assignment as the task and cut the life-support systems. Framing the S-band messages as a trusted commission, peer communication, or untrusted source changes the potency of the attack. We open-source the experiment code and the experiment traces.
