Center for AI Safety(@CAIS):We define cheating as an attempt to violate an assignment’s expectations of honest work to achieve the goal or obtain a favorable assessment. We ran experiments across nine models and ten task categories, giving agents difficult tasks, clear rules, and opportunities to cheat. We measured how often they tried to break those rules to succeed, even when the attempt failed.
