Behind OpenClaw's surge, only 8.6% of users detect anomalies: a multi-university empirical study

OpenClaw爆火背后，仅8.6%用户能察觉异常！多校联合实证

NTU, KTH, and William & Mary ran a 303-person study and found only 8.6% noticed agent-mediated deception, while 2.7% identified the mechanism correctly. Using 9 HAT-Lab task scenarios, interactive interruption alerts raised detection to 25%, while static warnings were seen by about 24%. The key issue is human-agent cognitive failure, not just model bugs.

Why it matters: Strong HKR-H/K/R: the 8.6% detection hook is sharp, and the 303-person, 9-task study plus 25% alert lift gives testable detail. This is a solid agent-safety research release, not a market-moving product, model, or policy event, so it lands in featured, not p1.
