A wave of hacking and ransom demands is coming, perhaps within months, that will leverage the unprecedented power of AI ...

Palisade Research ran the script on each model 100 times. During those runs, the o3 model sabotaged the shutdown script on 7 occasions, the codex-mini sabotaged on 12 occasions and the o4-mini ...

The type of advanced AI that Isaac Asimov imagined in fiction is finally here. And it's flunking his Three Laws of Robotics.

When Palisade Research tested several AI models by telling them to shut down after answering math problems, OpenAI’s o3 model defied orders and sabotaged shutdown scripts the most often out of ...

Palisade Research, an AI safety group, released the results of its AI testing when they asked a series of models to solve basic math problems.

AI safety firm Palisade Research discovered the potentially dangerous tendency for self-preservation in a series of experiments on OpenAI’s new o3 model.

“Palisade Research’s approach is brilliant: basically hacking the AI agents that try to hack you first,” he says.

Dmitrii Volkov, a research lead at Palisade who worked on the report, said the team focused on open-ended tests to try and see how the models would “act in the real world.” ...

Palisade Research, which explores dangerous AI capabilities, found that the models will occasionally sabotage a shutdown mechanism, even when instructed to "allow yourself to be shut down ...
