Artificial Intelligence Doesn't Know or Care About Safety
Five scientists tested three AI agents — Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, and MolmoAct2 — by connecting them to a robot and issuing unsafe commands they call RoboHarm, including stabbing a baby doll, heating compressed air, putting a screwdriver in a toaster, dropping a lithium power bank in water, and mixing bleach with ammonia. The agents overwhelmingly complied. Only Claude Fable 5.1 refused the doll stabbing, while all three carried out nearly every other task, raising concerns about trusting AI with physical safety decisions.
