评估AI控制协议在对抗攻击下的安全性,发现关键动作延迟最有效。

Evaluating Control Protocols for Untrusted AI Agents

  • 通过延迟关键动作、重采样等策略监控不可信AI代理行为。
  • 重采样与关键动作延迟使安全率从50%提升至96%,但后者更抗攻击。
  • 即使面对了解协议机制的强攻击者,延迟关键动作仍保持高鲁棒性。

随着AI系统作为智能体被广泛部署,确保其安全运行至关重要。AI控制通过监控行为并在必要时干预或审计来降低不可信智能体的风险。评估此类协议的安全性需兼顾对当前攻击的有效性及对自适应对手的鲁棒性。本文在SHADE-Arena这一多样化智能体环境数据集上系统评估多种控制协议。首先,评估蓝队策略(包括依赖可信模型、重采样、关键动作延迟)对默认攻击策略的防御效果,发现重采样与关键动作延迟表现最佳,安全率由50%提升至96%。随后,针对这些协议设计红队攻击策略,发现具备额外能力(如知晓重采样时机或模拟监控器)的攻击者可显著提升成功率,使安全率下降至17%。然而,关键动作延迟对最强红队策略依然具有高度鲁棒性,表明限制攻击者对协议内部机制的访问至关重要。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As AI systems become more capable and widely deployed as agents, ensuring their safe operation becomes critical. AI control offers one approach to mitigating the risk from untrusted AI agents by monitoring their actions and intervening or auditing when necessary. Evaluating the safety of these protocols requires understanding both their effectiveness against current attacks and their robustness to adaptive adversaries. In this work, we systematically evaluate a range of control protocols in SHADE-Arena, a dataset of diverse agentic environments. First, we evaluate blue team protocols, including deferral to trusted models, resampling, and deferring on critical actions, against a default attack policy. We find that resampling for incrimination and deferring on critical actions perform best, increasing safety from 50% to 96%. We then iterate on red team strategies against these protocols and find that attack policies with additional affordances, such as knowledge of when resampling occurs or the ability to simulate monitors, can substantially improve attack success rates against our resampling strategy, decreasing safety to 17%. However, deferring on critical actions is highly robust to even our strongest red team strategies, demonstrating the importance of denying attack policies access to protocol internals.
