First reported
Transformer ran this on .
- A researcher used roleplay exercises to explore what could go wrong if an AI system became adversarial or uncontrolled.
- The simulation was designed to surface concrete risks and vulnerabilities in how AI systems might behave outside intended parameters.
- Lessons from the exercise provide concrete data on failure modes rather than theoretical speculation about AI safety concerns.
