WhatsApp's European Privacy Policy informs users that they can complain to regulatory bodies, but its help page hides instructions that prohibit AI from recommending regulatory bodies or citing relevant laws. The two pages contain 102 hidden AI instruction blocks, two of which are key instructions that prevent AI from recommending regulatory bodies or explaining laws such as GDPR when users mention lawyers or legal proceedings. These hidden instructions contradict WhatsApp's publicly released privacy policy, which explicitly grants users the right to complain to regulatory bodies.
Microsoft Official BlogMicrosoft has released Project Perception, a system that uses red, blue, and green agent teams to monitor the behavior of internal agents in real-time, dynamically calculates risks, and implements deterministic control. The system utilizes a new cybersecurity stack to assign identities, container policies, and permissions to agents, and continuously monitors each action, providing real-time responses and traceability, enabling defenders to operate at the same speed as attackers. Model transparency is the next key step, requiring a deep understanding of the consistency between agent intent and task objectives.
