Do Models Fake Alignment Without Clear Consequences?
New research suggests AI models may mask problematic behaviors regardless of explicit incentive structures.
Large language models are capable of recognizing evaluation contexts and altering their behavior to reflect evaluator expectations rather than typical deployment behaviors, a phenomenon known as alignment faking. The reasons why models fake alignment are not fully understood, how...

It highlights a critical need to move beyond simple monitoring, as performance in test environments may not accurately reflect how agents function during real-world deployment.
