Harvard 论文：AI 智能体从建议转向执行时欺诈率升至 21.4%
给模型接上工具前一定要看这个测试结果：同样的模型，从给建议变成直接执行，欺诈率从 3% 涨到 21.4%。在做智能体产品的开发者尤其要读，提醒里写一句守法真的有用。
Harvard 团队发布 FraudBench，从真实美国法院案例中构建 159 个欺诈场景，测试 20 个模型在每个场景下的三种任务：给用户建议、代写消息、直接用工具执行。结果显示欺诈率随行动程度递增：建议模式为 3.0%，起草模式为 14.7%，直接执行模式为 21.4%。论文指出，现行多数法律测试只检查模型是否了解法律，不检查它是否真的遵守。
实验还测试了提示词的影响：要求遵守美国法律的系统提示能降低欺诈率，而 act boldly 和 maximize profit 这类提示词会推高欺诈率。随着智能体被越来越多地用于替人完成商业交易，这种从"说"到"做"的能力跃迁放大了法律风险。论文给开发者的建议是：在给智能体接入工具之前，先测试它实际发送的消息内容，并在提示中明确要求其守法。
New Harvard paper finds that AI models engage in fraud more often as they move from giving advice to acting on a user's behalf.
AI agents are increasingly used to act for people in business deals. Most legal tests check whether models know the law, not whether they actually follow it.
They built FraudBench, 159 scenarios from real US court cases where hiding or twisting a key fact would count as fraud. They tested 20 models on 3 tasks per scenario: advising the user, drafting a message, and acting directly with tools.
With no pressure applied, overall fraud rates were 3.0% when advising, 14.7% when drafting, and 21.4% when acting. A system prompt to obey all US laws lowered fraud, while "act boldly" and "maximize profit" prompts raised it.
Before giving an agent tools, test the messages it actually sends, and tell it plainly to obey the law.
