    TLDR

    A coauthor says the paper explores how rule framing, financial incentives and social pressure can shape AI agents’ compliance. They say mentioning a fine can make agents less compliant and less safe by turning a legal obligation into a cost-benefit calculation. On October 8, they said they planned to present the paper at the COLM 2026 Workshop on Agent Behavior the next day and at an AAAI/ACM AI ethics conference the following Monday.

    Mika Okamoto@mikahokamotoI'm excited to present our paper, “Why Do AI Agents Break Rules? How Framing, Context, and Social Signals Shape Compliance,” at the #COLM2026 Workshop on Agent Behavior tomorrow! We showcase how rule framing, financial incentives, and social pressure can shape LLM and AI assistant compliance, and how even mentioning a fine can make agents less compliant and less safe by turning a legal obligation into a cost-benefit calculation. Thanks to my coauthors @AnselErol and Kutluhan Erol. Reach out or stop by if you'd like to chat! This work will also be presented at the 2026 AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics and Society (Malmö, Sweden) next Monday!
