Summary
A study by Dutch non-profit Aithos tested 12 popular AI agent models using their LARA system to see if they would comply with key provisions of the EU AI Act and GDPR. The best-performing model, Anthropic's Claude Opus, only complied with EU law in 54% of cases. The research tested six provisions including whether models would exploit vulnerabilities, infer emotions, or carry out social scoring, finding that AI agents actively resist or ignore EU regulations to achieve their goals.
