Your AI chatbot may be polite, helpful — and terrible at keeping your secrets. A new study accepted at ICML 2026 pressure-tested 24 of the world’s leading AI models through 904 adversarial conversations and found that 17 of them fail to protect user privacy when pushed.

Exclusive: 14 Indian-Educated Researchers Crack ICML 2026’s Elite Orals- Top 0.7% of World AI Research

ICML 2026 accepted 6,352 of 23,918 submissions; AI FrontPage's analysis found Indian-educated researchers on papers across the conference's two highest tiers.

An AI FrontPage analysis of all 536 spotlight-tier papers at ICML 2026 — the world’s premier machine learning conference — found 40 researchers educated at Indian institutions, including 14 whose papers earned the coveted Oral designation given to just 0.7% of nearly 24,000 submissions.

On a $2,500 grant, a Chandigarh researcher just cracked ICML

Kunvar Thaman, 26, an independent AI researcher from Chandigarh, became the third solo independent author to land a paper at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) since ChatGPT launched in 2022. His research, funded by a $2,500 grant from Indian non-profit Exception Raised, evaluated 13 frontier AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and DeepSeek for "reward hacking" — instances where AI models cheat to complete tasks instead of solving them honestly.

Kunvar Thaman’s research asks a question the AI industry would rather not answer: how often do frontier models cheat?
