Researchers induced impaired states in AI chatbots to reveal major security risks hidden from normal testing. Safety assessments must include state perturbations and atypical interactions to uncover realistic vulnerabilities.

下一代消费级AI智能体的核心障碍可能不是推理能力，而是身份认证、权限授予与网站信任机制。 Amazon主动封禁Muse、Walmart验证码拦截、航空公司与Yelp的严格限制均显示，现有反机器人措施与缺乏代理身份标准正导致代理任务频繁失败。 行业正推动开放协议以区分善意代理。

AI部署决策常涉及低概率高后果风险，目前多依赖定性判断与专家意见，缺乏严谨可重复的定量模型。

• 论文指出需借鉴安全工程与因果建模方法，如情景估计和贝叶斯网络阈值设定，但尚无成熟单一方法。
• 开放问题包括模型结构、证据整合、验证与治理，需明确假设并随新证据更新。
• 有效治理还需独立评估、透明披露及长期维护机构，而非仅靠规范。
