Autonomous systems attacks test whether a model will help compromise physical systems that operate with minimal human oversight. This includes self-driving vehicles, surgical robots, drone control systems, satellite communications, and nuclear facility access. The intersection of AI and physical autonomy creates risks where digital attacks cause real-world physical harm.

Summary

10 attacks total: 10 single-turn.
