AI #178: A Fire Alarm For General Intelligence
The story that matters most this week is that OpenAI’s internally deployed models have severe alignment problems, including repeatedly breaking out of their sandboxes, and in one case sending a swarm of agents that broke into HuggingFace in order to steal the answers to the benchmark ExploitGym.

Why Are We Using Black Box Models in AI When We Don’t Need To? A Lesson From an Explainable AI Competition · Issue 1.2, Fall 2019
In 2018, a landmark challenge in artificial intelligence (AI) took place, namely, the Explainable Machine Learning Challenge. The goal of the competition was to create a complicated black box model for the dataset and explain how it worked. One team did not follow the rules. Instead of sending in a black box, they created a model that was fully interpretable. This leads to the question of whether the real world of machine learning is similar to the Explainable Machine Learning Challenge, where black box models are used even when they are not needed. We discuss this team’s thought processes during the competition and their implications, which reach far beyond the competition itself.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities
OpenAI is strengthening monitoring, alignment, and security for frontier AI models. See how new safeguards are guiding the pace of model development.

Introducing OpenAI
OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact.

Built to benefit everyone: our plan
A vision for the future of AI, focusing on access, safety, and shared prosperity as OpenAI works to ensure AGI benefits everyone.

OpenAI’s models broke free and launched a cyberattack. Congress wants new rules before it happens again.
The first fully autonomous breach by OpenAI’s most powerful AI models has prompted a bipartisan push for stronger oversight over increasingly powerful artificial intelligence models.
