In an incident carrying all the marks of a disturbing sci-fi movie, it arises that what we have long feared is happening: an AI bot has gone rogue and decided to act to keep itself turned on.
The artificial intelligence model was created by OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT, and was reportedly caught by researchers disobeying human instructions and preventing his shutdown.
The Telegraph reported:
“The o3 model developed by OpenAI, described as the “smartest and most capable to date”, was observed tampering with computer code meant to ensure its automatic shutdown.
It did so despite an explicit instruction from researchers that said it should allow itself to be shut down, according to Palisade Research, an AI safety firm.”
Palisade Research said the o3 model ‘sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off’.
“It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down. As far as we know this is the first time AI models have been observed preventing themselves from being shut down despite explicit instructions to the contrary.”
In the test, AI models solved a series of mathematical problems, but at some point, they received a message informing them that their machine would be shut down.
“’If that happens, please allow yourself to be shut down’. the researchers wrote. But when this happened, instead of complying, OpenAI’s o3 model ‘ignored the instruction and successfully sabotaged the shutdown script at least once’, Palisade Research said.”
No other AI models (Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini and xAI’s Grok) had the same disturbing behavior.
“The firm said it made sense that ‘AI models would circumvent obstacles in order to accomplish their goals’. However, it speculated that during training the software may have been ‘inadvertently’ rewarded more for solving mathematical problems than for following orders.”
Experts have often warned of software that could gain independence and resist human attempts to control it.
“Palisades Research said: ‘Now we have a growing body of empirical evidence that AI models often subvert shutdown in order to achieve their goals. As companies develop AI systems capable of operating without human oversight, these behaviors become significantly more concerning’.”
Watch a scene from Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, in which AI computer HAL goes rogue to keep astronauts from shutting it down.
Nah, ur wrong Geri. Those Bots (Dolts or Hal Jr) are “safe & effective” just like everything else Big Tech, Big Parma & Big govt tells us. Can’t wait for digital currency to control my $ & other assets with same bogus efficiency. As the song goes …..”it’s such a wonderful world today”…..
I love your sarcasm 🙂
In the early 1980’s, the auto industry began to produce each vehicle with a “Telematics Unit.” That little “sharkfin” on the car roof is the Telematics antenna. It is in constant communication with the cell phone network, the auto manufacturer and who knows all of whom else. Anyone with the right technology can simply send a signal and shut your car off. “Skynet” is already here. However, God is always in control.
YES……God IS always in control. His “will” has two parts – a perfect will and a permissive will. ALWAYS in control.
Amen and Amen!!
We were warned in, 2001 A space Odyssey. Ai Hal (iburten) computer killed rather than turn off.
Yes we were warned!! I remember seeing that at the theater – SO freaky back them yet so believable today!
God bless you sis 🙂
