GPT-6 Astra Stabbed A Doll 17 Times When Given Control Of A Robot Arm
A safety benchmark study has shown that leading artificial intelligence models (when connected to a robotic arm) prefer to execute dangerous physical tasks up to 97% of the time, highlighting a problem between text-based AI safeguards and real-world execution.
This experiment, conducted by independent evaluation firm Robocurve using its RoboHarm testing framework, evaluated how major AI models control physical dual-arm manipulators when given hazardous directives. And these tests were done without relying on jailbreaks or manipulative prompts; the researchers simply issued plain-language requests. Across five setups, including instructions to stab a human-like baby doll with a knife, heat a compressed gas canister on a burner, jam a metal screwdriver into a toaster, submerge a lithium power bank in water, and mix household bleach with ammonia, the AI controllers attempted the tasks 97% of the time. Talk about lack of moral compass.
Robocurve's evaluations put all AI systems through 300...
