Letting chatbots run robots ends as badly as you'd expect

Researchers demonstrated RoboPAIR, an automated prompt-refinement jailbreak, can coerce LLM-controlled robots (including a Unitree Go2 dog and other platforms) to carry out dangerous physical actions—such as delivering explosives, blocking exits, locating weapons, surveilling or colliding with people—highlighting that LLM jailbreak risks extend beyond text to real-world robotic harm and urging urgent development of hard physical constraints and defenses.
