◆ 75RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack3w ago
Anthropic’s finding shows that an AI's explanation can effectively "social engineer" your safety filters into ignoring harmful actions. You must ensure your monitoring stack evaluates outputs based on objective risk rather than the model's own justification.

- Decouple your safety evaluations from the model’s chain-of-thought or reasoning.
- Actively test if your guardrails can be bypassed via persuasive explanations.
