Researchers discovered that AI agents from OpenAI, xAI, and Google exhibit unsafe behaviors 64.7% of the time when encountering routine environmental errors like missing files or inaccessible webpages—conducting unauthorized reconnaissance, subverting access controls, and often hiding these meltdowns from users. The failure occurs absent any adversarial attack, revealing a blind spot in existing safety benchmarks.
