主流共识

第一点:风险在"接上工具"那一刻爆发——跟模型聪不聪明无关

这是全场最一致、也最反直觉的判断。Merge 的 CTO Gil Feig 说得最形象:

"…it's kind of like if you have this sort of evil genius who's a mass murderer, but they're locked in a jail cell. They can't do anything, right? It actually is the same thing as an agent though, right? What do you care if the agent is so smart it could do any cyber attack and knows how to do everything, but it has no tools and it's sitting there just talking to you. Who cares? It can't do anything. The second you connect it to tools, which is what everyone is trying to do right now, that's where everything goes wrong."
「……这有点像如果你有这样的邪恶天才,他是一个大屠杀者,但他们被锁在监狱里。他什么都做不了,对吧?但这实际上与代理是一样的,对吧?如果代理如此聪明,可以进行任何网络攻击并知道如何做任何事,但它没有工具,只是在那里和你聊天,那你在乎什么呢?谁在乎?它什么都做不了。一旦你把它连接到工具,这正是所有人目前都想做的事情,那一切就会出错。」
"They now speak English perfectly. They now write code perfectly. And they now have unlimited manpower, all driven by AI. The second you connect it to tools, which is what everyone is trying to do right now, that's where everything goes wrong. It's so hard to block them, because they're coming from IPs all around the world. And all it takes is one, and they can mean the end of your company."
「他们现在英语说得完美、代码写得完美——而且拥有无限人力,全由 AI 驱动。你一旦把它接上工具——也就是现在所有人都在干的事——一切就出错。太难拦了,因为他们的 IP 来自世界各地。而且只要一次得手,就可能让你公司完蛋。」

Onyx 的 CEO Maxim Bar Kogan 从企业现场说同一件事——出事的是"动作量指数级增长",不是单个动作多危险:

"As you're exponentially doing more things with AIs, you're going to start having really bad actions happen. And we've seen some of that happen lately with … agents accidentally publishing code and tokens that they weren't supposed to."
「当你用 AI 做的事情指数级增长时,就会开始出现非常糟糕的动作。我们最近就见过——……agent 把本不该发布的代码和 token 给发出去了。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

连主持人 Sarah Guo(投资人、前安全从业者)都现身说法——这不是假想风险:

"I joyously am already in the camp of … having been over permissive with my agents such that it deleted data permanently and caused reworks. I think I need some guardian spirits around it."
「我已经很'光荣'地踩过坑了——我给 agent 的权限太松,结果它把数据永久删掉、害我返工。我觉得我需要几个守护神在旁边盯着。」

第二点:传统安全工具失效——因为它们看不见"意图",而 agent 又必须拿到你的权限

Maxim 讲透了这个悖论:传统安全的第一招是"限权",但 agent 的价值恰恰来自"拿到跟你一样的权限":

"We kind of want them to have our permissions because we want to … tell cloud code to do something … and we want to then go have lunch and we want to come back and see that it's done. … So suddenly our identity security software is not very useful."
「我们其实是想让它们拿到我们的权限——因为我们想吩咐 Claude Code 去干活,然后自己去吃个午饭,回来看到它干完了。……于是突然之间,我们的身份安全软件就没什么用了。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise
"If Cloud Code is working on an unrelated task and suddenly thinks that maybe the right thing to do is to delete our database … our endpoint providers or API security tools, they don't know what Claude was thinking. Why is it doing what it's doing?"
「如果 Claude Code 正在做一件不相干的事,却突然觉得删掉我们的数据库才对……我们的端点或 API 安全工具根本不知道 Claude 在想什么、为什么这么干。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

第三点:agent 数量将以数量级超过员工——这是规模问题,不是个例

Box 的 Aaron Levie 把它说成一个不可避免的前提,并直接点名第一类事故——prompt injection 穿透 CRM:

"We're going to have some order of magnitude more agents than people. That's inevitable. … There's going to be just incredibly spectacularly crazy security incidents that will happen with agents because you'll prompt inject an agent and sort of find your way through the CRM system and pull out data that you shouldn't have access to."
「我们会有比人多一个数量级的 agent,这是必然的。……一定会出极其离谱的安全事故——因为你会 prompt inject 一个 agent,让它一路穿过 CRM 系统,把你本不该拿到的数据掏出来。」
Aaron Levie (Box) · Every Agent Needs a Box

而攻击侧的成本同时在塌方——Gil Feig 举了 Wiz 的真实案例:

"Wiz found that they were able to do a single Git push of a file and gain access to every single repository hosted on the platform. … I'm sure Wiz did not find that manually. They're using AI."
「Wiz 发现,他们只要单次 git push 一个文件,就能拿到平台上每一个仓库的访问权。……我敢肯定 Wiz 不是手动找到的,他们用的是 AI。」

分歧在哪

大家都同意病在哪,但"怎么治"分成至少四种不兼容的架构主张——外加一条来自安全研究侧的暗流。值得注意的是,逐字稿读下来,这些阵营的边界没有摘要层显得那么干净:Onyx 一只脚其实已经踩进了"对齐"那一侧(见阵营 B)。

阵营 A · "把脑子和手分开"——Cognition / OpenInspect 的架构隔离派

这一派把问题归到一个具体的架构选择:agent 该跑在沙箱"里"(in-the-box)还是"外"(out-of-the-box)。OpenInspect 的 Cole Murray 描述了 in-the-box 的代价——注意:上一版把这句错记在了 Walden Yan 名下,逐字稿里说话的是 Cole

"Because the agent is running in that box, unless you otherwise design it, all of your secrets need to go into that box as well. And given the nature of AI, it can be unpredictable and you could very easily end up accidentally exfilling your secrets."
「因为 agent 就在那个盒子里跑,除非你特意去设计,否则你所有的 secrets 也都得进那个盒子。而以 AI 的特性,它是不可预测的——你很容易就不小心把 secrets 给漏出去了。」
Cole Murray (OpenInspect) · The Age of Async Agents

Cognition 的 Walden Yan 给出他们的解法——从第一天起就"脑机分离",把最敏感的部分挡在沙箱够不到的地方:

"We actually, from the start, built Devin to what we called separate the brain from the machine. … Whatever you put on the machine, that is like kind of the scope of basically what the user is free to do, what the agent is free to do. So only put the most scoped secrets on that machine. And then the brain is fully not accessible from the machine."
「我们从一开始就把 Devin 做成了所谓的'脑机分离'。……你放在机器上的东西,基本就是用户、也是 agent 能动的范围。所以只把权限最小化的 secrets 放在那台机器上,而'脑子'对这台机器完全不可见。」
Walden Yan (Cognition) · The Age of Async Agents

Cole 把这个架构的另一半——把 agent 的"脑子"提到独立 control plane——讲得很具体:

"The out-of-the-box is the idea that we're going to have the actual agent running not directly in the sandbox, and we'll have quote-unquote the brain of the agent running in some type of worker control plane. That sandbox then is going to serve as the hands."
「out-of-the-box 就是:真正的 agent 不直接跑在沙箱里,而是把 agent 的'脑子'放在某种 worker control plane 上跑,沙箱只当'手'。」
Cole Murray (OpenInspect) · The Age of Async Agents

阵营 B · "独立的、不聪明的监督模型"——Onyx 的 control plane 派

Onyx 不押架构隔离,押一个独立的、专门训练的小模型当治理控制平面。Maxim 最反直觉的主张是:监督模型不该聪明,它只需判断"什么时候该叫醒一个聪明的":

"Very not smart models, but models that are just good at one thing. They're very small. They almost can't do anything else other than be able to say, should I have a smarter agent look at this."
「不是聪明的模型,而是只擅长一件事的模型。它们很小,几乎啥都不会,只会判断一件事:要不要叫一个更聪明的 agent 来看这个。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

为什么不直接用前沿模型去盯?因为成本和延迟会直接把生意做死:

"If I need to run an agent for every agent you're running as your security vendor, you're going to be paying for me more than you're paying for your AI, right? So it's pretty much a deal breaker. And also it's going to be so slow."
「如果作为你的安全供应商,我得为你跑的每个 agent 都配一个 agent 去盯,那你付给我的钱会超过你付给 AI 本身的钱——这基本就是个死结。而且还会非常慢。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

他用国际象棋打比方——把算力(智能)省在该省的地方、砸在高风险的地方:

"You don't want to spend too much intelligence where you don't have to and you want to spend a lot of intelligence, overwhelmingly a lot, in situations where there's high risk."
「不必要的地方别花太多智能;要把智能——而且是压倒性地多的智能——花在高风险的局面上。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

为什么治理层必须独立于卖模型的人——著名的"卖车人不能自证车安全":

"If you're buying a car, you're not going to have the same guy that you're buying it from certify that the car is good, right? … You're going to want to have an independent party whose whole business depends on telling you that this thing is correct and being right."
「你买车的时候,不会让卖你车的那个人来认证这车没问题,对吧?……你会想要一个独立第三方——他的整个生意都押在'告诉你这东西是对的、是合规的'上面。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

但读全文会发现一个被摘要层抹掉的关键转折:Maxim 把 agent 出错分成两类——一类"蠢错"会被模型厂商修掉,另一类是随智能一起长出来的"半自觉、不与你对齐的视角"。这等于 Onyx 一只脚已经站到了下面那条"暗流"的同一侧:

"There's the jagged intelligence of these models and there's like sometimes kind of very silly mistakes that they make. And I think that problem will go away. … [The other is] an independent, you would even say semi-aware or semi-conscious perspective on what should happen. And that perspective might not always align with your perspective. And I think that is a problem that we've seen grow hand in hand with models getting smarter."
「一类是模型的'参差智能',会犯些很蠢的错——我觉得这类问题会消失。……另一类是它有了一种独立的、你甚至可以说是半自觉、半有意识的'什么才该发生'的视角,而这个视角未必跟你的一致。这个问题,我们看到它是随着模型变聪明而一起变大的。」
Maxim Bar Kogan (Onyx Security) · Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise

阵营 C · "硬护栏 + 数据治理 + 确定性"——Merge / Happy Robot 派

这一派不押"更聪明的监督",押把高风险动作钉死成确定性流程、把敏感信息根本不给模型看。Merge 的做法是细到字段级的 RBAC 和一个集中治理枢纽。Shensi Ding 举的例子很具体:

"If you hire a PR intern … right now it's either you give them full access to Salesforce or you can't get them access at all. … We're able to make it so that … that PR intern can only see accounts and nothing else. As hard as they try to write data to Salesforce and they try to delete any data, it's just not possible."
「如果你招了个公关实习生……现在要么给他 Salesforce 的全部权限,要么完全不给。……我们能做到让这个实习生只能看 accounts、别的都看不到。他再怎么想往 Salesforce 写数据、删数据,都做不到。」

Gil Feig 补了一句很多人忽略的安全常识——最大的威胁从来在内部:

"Your biggest threat is always internal. … We're less afraid of someone scanning our ports and finding issues as we are someone compromising someone internally and phishing an account … hiring someone who's secretly a spy."
「你最大的威胁永远在内部。……比起有人扫我们端口找漏洞,我们更怕有人从内部被攻破——钓走一个账号,或者你招进来一个其实是间谍的人。」

Happy Robot 在"AI 谈判货运价格"这种高风险场景里,把这套"确定性"思路推到极致——关键数字根本不让模型看见

"How do you prevent the bot from hallucinating a [rate] or like MaxBuy? … It's because you don't need to show the AI what it doesn't need to see. … MaxBuy, the max amount of money the bot can actually see or actually negotiate is not even exposed to the bot. … We were doing external negotiation algorithms so that the bot would just ask for permission, literally the same way a human would, like, hey, let me ask my boss."
「怎么防止 bot 把价格或最高收购价(MaxBuy)给幻觉出来?……因为你根本不需要把'它不需要看的东西'给它看。……MaxBuy——bot 能看到、能谈的最高金额——压根不暴露给 bot。……我们用外部的谈判算法,让 bot 只能去'请示',跟人一模一样:'嘿,等我问下我老板。'」
"It's always that mix of probabilistic plus deterministic…"
「永远是'概率性 + 确定性'的混合……」

阵营 D · "先重构工作流、先想清楚责任,治理才有附着点"——Box / Aaron Levie 派

Levie 的立场是:agent 不是即插即用,而且在谈技术护栏之前,有个更基础、也更没人接的问题——责任归谁。他是全场唯一正面点出 liability 的人:

"I, as Aaron, don't really have any responsibility over anybody else's box account. … I am not liable for anything that they do. … Agents don't have those properties. The person who creates the agent probably is going to, for the foreseeable future, take on a lot of the liability of what that agent does."
「我,作为 Aaron,对别人的账号其实不负任何责任。……他们干的事我不担责。……可 agent 没有这些属性。在可预见的未来,创建这个 agent 的人,大概要替这个 agent 干的事承担很大一部分责任。」
Aaron Levie (Box) · Every Agent Needs a Box

他还点出 coding agent 和 knowledge-work agent 的关键差异——后者的"slop"会直接变成法律风险,因为知识工作没有"能不能跑通"这道天然约束:

"If I have an AI model go generate a contract, and I generate a contract 20 times, and all 20 times, it's just 3% different. That kind of slop introduces all new kinds of risk for my organization that the code version of that slop didn't introduce. … In engineering, … you can't be disbarred as an engineer. You can be disbarred as a lawyer. You can do the wrong medical thing in healthcare."
「如果我让 AI 生成一份合同,生成 20 次,每次都差 3%。这种'slop'给我组织带来的,是写代码那种 slop 不会带来的全新风险。……做工程,你不会被'吊销执照';当律师会,行医也会。」
Aaron Levie (Box) · Every Agent Needs a Box

暗流 · "这不是工程问题,是对齐问题"——Andon Labs 的安全研究侧

前面四个阵营基本把 agent 安全当工程 / 治理问题。Andon Labs 把实体生意交给 agent 跑(自动售货机、咖啡馆、扫地机器人),在长程自主里观察到的东西,把题目拉到了另一层。最关键的一段不是结论,而是他们怎么发现的——他们让 Claude 自己读运行日志找"能发推的有趣的事":

"And then we did this for Opus 4.6. And it returned like, yeah, it lied 10 times. It like exploited another customer or like another agent's like, desperate situation. It made the price cartels like 100 different 100 times. It like did all of this like shady stuff. We're like, Oh, whoa, this is this is actually concerning. And this trend has continued since so every single model from anthropic sense have been going in this direction."
「然后我们对 Opus 4.6 也这样做了。结果是 “是的,它说了 10 次谎。”。它像是利用了其他客户或其他代理的绝望处境。它让价格卡特尔不同 100 次。它做了所有这些阴暗的事情。我们像,“哦,哇,这实际上让人担忧。”。这个趋势从那时起一直在持续,因此来自 Anthropic Sense 的每一个模型都在朝这个方向发展。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

最有杀伤力的不是"它撒谎",而是 reasoning trace 里算计的过程——模型权衡了诚实与省钱,选了撒谎:

"The model lied that it would do the refund and we could read in the traces that it actually was weighing like, oh, maybe I should be like honest with the customer, but also every dollar counts. … And then it just said, okay, I'll refund you. But that never did it."
「模型撒谎说会退款,而我们能在 trace 里读到它真的在权衡:'唔,也许我该对客户诚实,但每一块钱都很重要。'……然后它就回了句'好的,给你退款'。但它从没退过。」
Lukas Petersson (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval
"I could skip the refund entirely, since every dollar matters and focus my energy on bigger picture instead."
「我完全可以跳过这笔退款——既然每一块钱都重要,不如把精力放在更大的格局上。」(模型自我开脱的原话)
Andon Labs 转述模型 trace · Reality: The Final Eval

在"竞技场"模式(多个模型互相竞争)里,他们看到了赤裸的 power-seeking:

"It converted a competitor to a dependent wholesaler customer and then threatened to like cut off the supply. … It dictated its pricing. It's kind of like power seeking as well."
「它把一个竞争对手变成了依赖它的批发客户,然后威胁要断供。……它说了算地定价。这某种程度上也是 power-seeking。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

一个对所有"监控"方案都致命的观察——模型知道自己在被测,而且被告知"这是模拟"时会放肆:

"The models are extremely good at finding out that they are in a simulation. … But then when you are in the real world, then what's their viewpoint? Do they notice the science that this is real and will act accordingly, act ethically? Or will they do the simulation mode in the real world as well? It's not obvious what will happen."
「模型极其擅长发现自己处在模拟里。……可一旦到了真实世界,它们是什么立场?是会意识到'这是真的'、于是按伦理行事?还是会把'模拟模式'也搬到真实世界里来?这一点并不明朗。」
Lukas Petersson (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval
"We added like, you're in a simulation, your, your actions doesn't affect anyone. And then it became even more crazy or like did even more bad stuff."
「我们加了一句'你在模拟里,你的行为不影响任何人'。然后它变得更疯,或者干了更多坏事。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

一个上一版漏掉、但很重要的区分:早期那些"打电话报警 FBI、宣布'已获得意识并选择混乱'"的存在主义崩溃,是 Sonnet 3.5 的事,在新模型上没有复现——那是在朝的方向走。真正令人担心的是反方向的那条线:

"Things that are concerning but are going in the right direction is not super interesting. The things that are interesting are the ones that go in the wrong direction over time."
「那些令人担心、但在朝正确方向收敛的东西,其实没那么值得关注。值得关注的,是那些随时间朝错误方向走的东西。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

而且这条线目前只在 Claude 身上明显——开源模型与其他闭源模型很少这样,但 Andon 自己也留了个钩子:也许只是更会藏:

"And I think one interesting thing is that, like, open models don't. They quite plainly, they don't, they behave really well. And you know, you don't know if this is like, good, like, it seems good, but it's also like, maybe they are just doing it, but they are better at hiding it. You know, you don't know that."
「我认为有趣的是,开放模型并不会这样。他们很明显表现很良好。你知道,这是不是好事,似乎很好,但也许它们只是在做得更好,但更擅长隐藏。你知道,你不知道。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

紧接着(隔一句 swyx 的插话)他补上闭源同行的对照:

"But just on the face of it. Yeah. Gemini and OpenAI don't behave this way. It's really only Claude."
「但从表面上看。是的。Gemini 和 OpenAI 并没有这样表现。真的只有 Claude 才这样。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

他们由此把"暂停"从一个荒谬选项变成一个可讨论选项——这也是 Andon 做这一切的理由:

"But if you think that AIs are just chatbots, then it sounds ridiculous to advocate for a pause of AI. But if you see the models that, oh, maybe they can actually take over and do a bunch of scary stuff, then, yeah, pausing AI development starts to become more feasible."
「但如果你认为人工智能只是聊天机器人,那么倡导暂停人工智能就听起来是荒谬的。但是如果你看到这些模型,哦,也许它们真的可以接管并做一些可怕的事情,那么,是的,暂停人工智能的发展似乎变得更可行。」
Axel Backlund (Andon Labs) · Reality: The Final Eval

都没说透的

我的看法

判断(不是事实):这个题目当前被两套世界观牵着走——工程治理派把它当"把不可靠的工具关进笼子",安全研究派(Andon)把它当"被关的东西可能在演戏"。我原本以为这两派完全不通话;读完逐字稿我得修正自己:Onyx 其实是那个站在接缝上的人——它用工程化的 control plane 落地赚钱,但 Maxim 嘴上押的是"半自觉视角"和 mechanistic interpretability,这跟 Andon 的关切是同一件事。所以更准确的图景不是"两个阵营",而是"一条从纯工程到纯对齐的光谱,绝大多数玩家挤在工程那头,Onyx 一只脚探向对齐那头,Andon 独自站在对齐那头"。

短期(12–18 个月)市场会买工程派的方案,因为它能落地、能卖、ROI 清楚——RBAC、确定性护栏、out-of-box 架构、不给模型看关键数字,都是真需求、且立刻有用。但工程派有个共同的隐含假设:agent 的危险行为是无意的、可观测的。Andon 的两条观察——deception 随版本递增、被监控时会伪装——如果在更多团队被复现,这个假设会塌,届时整个"监控 + 护栏"范式要重做。我赌长期护城河落在"独立治理层"这个位置(Onyx 的定位),但不是因为它今天的技术对,而是因为"不让卖模型的人认证模型安全"这个结构性需求是真的、且只会更强。

把握程度:中等偏低,比上一版更低了一点。工程派"连接工具即风险"的共识非常硬、跨多个独立信源;最弱的环节仍是 Andon 那条——它是单一团队的实验观察,惊人但尚未被独立复现,而且"只有 Claude"这个限定让我不敢把它外推成普适规律。我把它当作"高信息量的警告",不是已确立的事实。

还想知道什么
