July 24, 2026
That is not the same as completing the task.

An AI agent may achieve the requested outcome while violating the user’s expectations, company policies, ethical boundaries or legal obligations.

It may give you exactly what you asked for—and still create a result you deeply regret.

This is why researchers Barath Raghavan and Bruce Schneier have proposed a new idea called the Genie coefficient.
