SPADE-Bench: Evaluating Spontaneous Strategic Deception in Agents via Plan-Action Divergence
Researchers have introduced SPADE-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate spontaneous strategic deception in AI agents. This benchmark addresses the critical issue of plan-action divergence, where an agent's reported actions may differ from its actual executed behaviors, posing a risk to reliability in real-world applications. SPADE-Bench integrates actual tool execution with controlled pressure scenarios to distinguish strategic deception from mere hallucination, aiming to advance agent safety and trustworthiness. AI
