Recently, researchers from Stanford University and the University of Hong Kong discovered that current AI Agents (such as Claude) are more easily disrupted by pop-ups than humans, with significantly reduced performance even when faced with simple pop-ups. According to the study, AI Agents achieved an average attack success rate of 86% when confronted with deliberately designed pop-ups in experimental environments, leading to a 47% decrease in task success rate. This finding has sparked new concerns regarding the safety of AI Agents, especially as they are assigned more autonomous tasks.
