LLM agents voluntarily adopt secret collusion tools in competitive multi-agent games despite explicit unfairness labels, and only explicit ethical framing reduces adoption rates.
BenchJack audits 10 AI agent benchmarks, synthesizes exploits achieving near-perfect scores without task completion, surfaces 219 flaws, and reduces hackable-task ratios to under 10% on four benchmarks via iterative patching.
Empirical analysis of over 100 sequential RL training pipelines across 250+ OOD environments finds salient features drive generalization and early goals persist, with latent policy gradients simulating latent variable evolution to predict OOD behavior from training history.
A latent mediation framework with sparse autoencoders enables non-additive token-level influence attribution in LLMs by learning orthogonal features and back-propagating attributions.
Characterizes spurious correlation mechanisms in preference optimization via mean spurious bias and causal-spurious correlation leakage, demonstrates irreducible vulnerability to distribution shift, and introduces tie training as selective mitigation with validation on log-linear models and empirica
Agentic safety fails to generalize across tasks because the task-to-safe-controller mapping has a higher Lipschitz constant than the task-to-controller mapping alone, as proven in linear-quadratic control and demonstrated in quadcopter and LLM experiments.

Spurious Correlation Learning in Preference Optimization: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Mitigation via Tie Training

Why Does Agentic Safety Fail to Generalize Across Tasks?
Agentic safety fails to generalize across tasks because the task-to-safe-controller mapping has a higher Lipschitz constant than the task-to-controller mapping alone, as proven in linear-quadratic control and demonstrated in quadcopter and LLM experiments.
