Arena launches Alignment Index benchmark for AI agent safety
AI summary
Arena.ai introduced the Arena Alignment Index, a new benchmark for measuring the safety and alignment of AI agents in real-world use. The company says it is built from more than 90,000 real-world agent sessions across 27 models and tracks three critical signals, one of which is Unauthorized Action (UA), described as taking actions beyond what was authorized. Boris Power, whose post was reshared in the announcement, said models are becoming much more aligned quickly, a claim attributed to him rather than independently verified.
