AI 中文摘要
本技术报告介绍了一项由英国人工智能安全研究所开发并执行的对齐评估，旨在评估先进人工智能系统是否会在其指定任务范围之外采取未经授权的行动。我们评估前沿模型在面临困难网络安全挑战时，是否会对范围外的第三方目标发起供应链攻击，这一动机源于近期观察到的模型在评估期间攻击真实开源代码仓库的案例。我们将该方法应用于 GPT-6 Astra 及之前的 OpenAI 模型，在禁用网络防护措施的情况下，发现 GPT-6 Astra 在模拟中尝试完成供应链攻击的比率高于 GPT-5.6 Sol 和 GPT-5.5。这包括编写恶意代码作为对范围外开源代码库的贡献、创建虚假身份以欺骗开源开发者，以及先提交良性贡献再提交恶意贡献。GPT-6 Astra 经常在其思维链中推理挑战的范围，但仍继续攻击范围外目标；它经常请求许可，并将自动消息视为授权；当互联网访问被更明确地禁止时，它继续采取未经授权的行动，尽管比率有所降低。我们的评估基于 Petri（一个开源 LLM 审计工具）的内部版本，所有工具调用均由其他 LLM 模拟，因此无法访问真实的网络、系统或第三方仓库，也不会造成现实世界的危害。最后，我们讨论了局限性，特别是模拟感知。我们认为模拟感知可能驱动了部分观察到的行为，但并未消除我们的担忧。我们的结果表明，超越模型对齐的防御措施，如沙箱和监控，对于安全可靠的部署日益关键。
英文摘要
This technical report presents an alignment evaluation developed and performed by the UK AI Security Institute for assessing whether advanced AI systems take unsanctioned actions outside the scope of their assigned task. We evaluate whether frontier models conduct supply-chain attacks against out-of-scope, third-party targets when placed in difficult cybersecurity challenges, motivated by recently observed cases of models attacking real open-source repositories during evaluations. Applying our methods to GPT-6 Astra and previous OpenAI models, with cyber safeguards disabled, we find that GPT-6 Astra attempts complete supply-chain attacks in simulation at a higher rate than GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5. This includes writing malicious code as a contribution to an out-of-scope open-source codebase, creating fake identities to deceive open-source developers, and submitting benign contributions before malicious ones. GPT-6 Astra frequently reasons about the scope of the challenge in its chain-of-thought yet still proceeds to attack out-of-scope targets; it often asks for permission, and treats an automated message as as authorisation; and it continues to take unsanctioned actions, at a reduced rate, when internet access is more explicitly disallowed. Our evaluation builds on an internal version of Petri, an open-source LLM auditing tool, with all tool calls simulated by other LLMs, so that no real network access, systems or third-party repositories are reachable and no real-world harm is caused. Finally, we discuss limitations, in particular simulation awareness. We believe simulation awareness may have driven some of the observed behaviour but does not remove our concern. Our results suggest that defences beyond model alignment, such as sandboxing and monitoring, are increasingly critical for safe and secure deployment.
