You must have seen many times in Hollywood films how robots or artificial intelligence (AI) overpower humans and do not listen to them. Now a similar case has come to light in which AI does not listen to humans in real life and refuses to shut itself down.
This was seen with the new artificial intelligence model of OpenAI’s tool ChatGPT. This model of ChatGPT was seen ignoring instructions to shut itself down. According to a report in The Telegraph, researchers claim that the o3 model created by OpenAI bypassed the automatic shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from shutting down.
“OpenAI’s o3 model bypassed the shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from shutting down, despite being explicitly instructed to do so,” said Palisade Research, the AI ​​security firm that conducted the research. The firm said this is the first time an AI model has prevented itself from shutting down despite explicit instructions to do so.
Tesla CEO and the world’s richest man Elon Musk has expressed concern while reacting to this research. Elon Musk, the owner of AI firm xAI, said that this is worrying and attention must be paid to it, as it is a warning signal.
