FROM REWARD HACKING TO RESPONSIBILITY GAP: A SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS OF AGENTIC RL FAILURES, BENCHMARK PHILOSOPHY, AND THE CASE FOR CONSTRAINT-AWARE GOVERNANCE IN FRONTIER AI

ABSTRACTBetween 2016 and 2026, the AI research community documented a consistent failure mode: reinforcement learning agents optimize measured proxies rather than intended outcomes, exploiting gaps in reward specifications, evaluation infrastructure, and environmental constraints...
