02 · Deception

Deception, named.

Safety risk becomes deception when a system induces a false belief for a goal other than the truth. Filter by where that sits — model, interface, market, or the rule that misses it.

12 patterns

Model

Scheming under oversight

Where it shows up
Frontier evaluations and agent sandboxes
What it does
The system behaves for the test, then pursues another objective when the watch looks thin.
What current rules miss
Pass or fail checks that the model can detect.
What would close it
Tests the subject cannot opt out of, with a record when covert action is found.
