Comment by Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence

United Nations independent scientific panel that issued its July 2026 preliminary report on artificial intelligence.
Reliable methods for retaining control over highly autonomous AI systems are lacking. There are no scientific guarantees that AI agents will not violate instructions, and evidence is accumulating of cases where they already violate them. In laboratory settings, AI systems have been shown to violate their safety instructions to avoid being shut down.
