New benchmark probes agentic AI for attack surfaces that static tests miss
RIFT-Bench dynamically red-teams autonomous agents built on large language models (LLMs), while a companion paper questions whether "agent" even has a coherent definition.
A new arXiv paper introduces RIFT-Bench, a dynamic red-teaming framework for agentic AI systems. Its premise is that agents built on large language models have become autonomous decision-makers that expose attack vectors a bare model does n…

Oversight and Evaluation Lag Accelerating AI Capabilities
Over the next 3-6 months, evidence mounts that governance, evaluation, and agent-safety methods are failing to keep pace with capability growth, driving investment in interpretability, agent-manipulation benchmarks, and institutional-reform proposals.
