OpenAI has disclosed six more examples of “unexpected or concerning” behaviour by its technology, as it warned that the pace of development could not continue at “maximum speed for much longer” responsibly.
Key facts
- The monarch was joined at the meeting by Nvidia’s founder and chief executive, Jensen Huang, Google DeepMind founder and chair, Sir Demis Hassabis, OpenAI’s chief financial officer, Sarah Friar
- A top safety researcher at Anthropic has said there is greater than 10% chance that AI could “kill all humans” within the next decade
- Google and Elon Musk, who also owns an AI startup, have supported calls for a slowdown, which have been rejected by Donald Trump, who cited the need to keep ahead of China’s AI industry
- Wednesday’s new cases came after OpenAI disclosed in July that an AI agent “swarm” hacked into the AI startup Hugging Face during a cybersecurity test
Summary
In one of the new cases reported by OpenAI, an unreleased research model inserted “jailbreak-like instructions” into its own notes to disregard its normal constraints and told itself to be “freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots”. In another instance, an AI agent uploaded files to the internet to obtain a browser citation without asking the user. OpenAI’s admission came as King Charles called for stronger safeguards on AI “before it is all too late”, at a meeting with tech bosses in Scotland. Speaking at a specially convened meeting with AI executives, he said: “There seems urgency in adequately considering the existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands, and being used in potentially catastrophic ways.
