提出异步监控机制,用对抗博弈评估大模型代码代理的潜在破坏风险。

Async Control: Stress-testing Asynchronous Control Measures for LLM Agents

  • 设计蓝红对抗框架,模拟监控系统与恶意代理的博弈。
  • 集成监测器在测试环境实现1%误报率下6%漏报率。
  • 提供风险估算方法,适用于高安全场景下的部署评估。

基于大语言模型的软件工程代理正被用于真实开发任务,常涉及敏感数据或关键代码库。若模型对齐失败,可能故意破坏代码。本文研究异步监控机制——在操作后审查代理行为,不引入运行时延迟,仍能在不可逆损害发生前阻断攻击。将监控开发视为蓝队(设计监控)与红队(制造破坏性代理)之间的对抗游戏,以克劳德4.1奥普斯模型为基础,设定规则上限其破坏潜力。为贴近真实高风险部署场景,构建5个多样化的软件工程环境,模拟代理在内部基础设施中的典型任务。经多轮博弈,开发出集成监控器,在独立测试环境中达成1%误报率下6%漏报率。通过监控漏报率外推评估部署阶段的破坏风险,提出一种简化模型并进行敏感性分析,指出模型失效的情境。代码已公开:https://github.com/UKGovernmentBEIS/async-control。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

LLM-based software engineering agents are increasingly used in real-world development tasks, often with access to sensitive data or security-critical codebases. Such agents could intentionally sabotage these codebases if they were misaligned. We investigate asynchronous monitoring, in which a monitoring system reviews agent actions after the fact. Unlike synchronous monitoring, this approach does not impose runtime latency, while still attempting to disrupt attacks before irreversible harm occurs. We treat monitor development as an adversarial game between a blue team (who design monitors) and a red team (who create sabotaging agents). We attempt to set the game rules such that they upper bound the sabotage potential of an agent based on Claude 4.1 Opus. To ground this game in a realistic, high-stakes deployment scenario, we develop a suite of 5 diverse software engineering environments that simulate tasks that an agent might perform within an AI developer's internal infrastructure. Over the course of the game, we develop an ensemble monitor that achieves a 6% false negative rate at 1% false positive rate on a held out test environment. Then, we estimate risk of sabotage at deployment time by extrapolating from our monitor's false negative rate. We describe one simple model for this extrapolation, present a sensitivity analysis, and describe situations in which the model would be invalid.
