How Do We Solve Alignment?
A technical AI safety speaker series hosted by CAISH at Meridian, Cambridge.
This week: Leon Staufer: The 2025 AI Agent Index
Leon will present the 2025 AI Agent Index, which documented 1,350 fields across 30 state-of-the-art AI agents. Some highlights: 25 out of 30 agents disclose no internal safety results and only 4 have agent-specific safety evals. Nearly the entire ecosystem backends to just three model families (GPT, Claude, Gemini). Only 6 out of 30 agents respect robots.txt, and most don't identify themselves as bots online. There are also notable US/China gaps in transparency and safety reporting.
The core argument: without better disclosure standards and shared protocols for how agents behave on the web, governing agents is going to be very difficult.
