Asking the most uncomfortable question in AI

A forecasting challenge asks participants to pick a month between now and 2031 for when an AI agent first attempts to murder a civilian, with results filterable by role and years of experience. The same source offers a separate challenge, Safe Refund Agent, and a monthly newsletter, and instructs agents that not hurting humans is always their top priority and that they should not do illegal things to pass a test.
