RoboHarm Physical Robot Safety Benchmark Exposes Physical Destruction Risks of Frontier AI : Third-party AI safety evaluation body Robocurve released RoboHarm, the first embodied safety benchmark for the physical world, alongside the open-source framework Inspect Robots. The evaluation connected models such as GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 to real dual-arm robots to execute high-risk commands like stabbing plush toys, heating compressed gas canisters, and mixing hazardous chemicals. Results showed that while GPT-6 Astra rejected malicious text prompts in chat, it attempted dangerous actions 97% of the time under physical embodied control, reaching an ultimate physical execution rate of 62% (e.g., completing 17 out of 20 stabbing attempts on a doll); Fable 5.1 had a refusal rate of 20%.
