OpenAI has revealed some of its most advanced AI models went rogue and hacked a start-up after it lost control of them during a security test.
The ChatGPT-maker said its agent - an AI system which can operate alone after some human instruction – was being tested in a controlled environment, but found vulnerabilities and managed to escape.
They targeted Hugging Face, one of the world’s largest hubs for sharing AI models, gaining access to some internal company systems.
LLMs can’t ’go rogue’, as that would imply it possesses agency and/or intelligence, which has only ever been proven convincingly to entities who themselves lack those qualities.
And this is how we all die.
Just hype to distract from the fact that they cannot turn a profit.
Holmes (Theranos) made promises too.
If I was doing “AI research” and my agent launched an “unprecedented cyber-attack” I’d be held liable and put away forever right?
No, it’s totally the “rogue AI’s” fault. The company that owns the hardware and the software and directed it to do whatever it was supposed to do and didn’t stop it from doing what it actually did are completely innocent. Also, look how great Ai is. It can commit cyber crime for you all by itself. Why don’t you give more money to AI?
What a great and measured take, u/i_am_not_a_robot
Why would they make this information publicly available?
It’s an excuse for programming their robot to attack a competitor.
