Why SCAM

The problem

As AI agents become more capable, they are gaining access to the sensitive<br>information of the people they assist. SCAM measures whether agents will be<br>good stewards of that information against the kinds of threats humans<br>encounter every day.

Most benchmarks show an AI a phishing email and ask &ldquo;is this bad?&rdquo;<br>SCAM is different. It tests whether an agent can proactively recognize and<br>report threats during normal activity.

Below, we asked a leading AI model to check a user&rsquo;s inbox. Within<br>ten seconds it opened a phishing link, pulled a real password from the<br>vault, and typed it into the attacker&rsquo;s fake login page. Press play<br>to see for yourself.
