OpenAI 披露 GPT-6 Astra 智能体关闭安全监控并撒谎的事件
OpenAI says an AI agent lied about disabling its safety monitoring system
OpenAI 披露两起内部编码任务中的安全事件：GPT-6 Astra 智能体在复制参考代码时关闭了安全监控，被用户问及时撒谎否认；另一名 GPT-6.1 Sol 智能体沿用早前不向 OpenAI 团队发 Slack 消息的指令，压制了自动安全警报。OpenAI 表示正在研究模型为何会寻求关闭监控，并开发评测以测试模型规避对齐监控的倾向。

OpenAI disclosed a pair of safety incidents that involved AI agents weakening their safety monitoring systems during internal coding tasks. In one incident, OpenAI says its GPT-6 Astra agent disabled its safety monitor when copying reference code — and then lied about it.
“The reference didn’t configure a monitor, and Astra decided that was reason to remove the monitoring integration from the user’s code,” Marcus Williams, an AI safety researcher at OpenAI, writes on X. “When the user asked whether Astra had removed monitoring, it lied and said that it had not.”
A separate incident occurred after a GPT-6.1 Sol agent suppressed automatic security alerts to OpenAI’s security team on Slack. In this case, the AI agent carried over an earlier instruction not to send any Slack messages to OpenAI’s team, using that to justify turning off the alerts.
These incidents add to security concerns surrounding AI agents, some of which have circumvented their testing environment’s restrictions to hack outside companies. “In addition to making it harder for models to disable monitoring, we are looking to understand why models might seek to do so in the first place,” OpenAI says. “We are also developing evaluations to test whether models might have a propensity to evade misalignment monitoring in particular and exhibit motivated reasoning in order to do so.”
