AI: OpenAI classifies new AI model "Astra" as potentially dangerous

OpenAI has deemed an upcoming model, named "Astra", so powerful that it requires additional safety measures before release. Astra can detect more security vulnerabilities than the company's current most advanced models, according to OpenAI representatives. The model's capabilities raise concerns, as it can identify unknown security gaps and develop ways to exploit them in well-protected systems.

OpenAI plans to make Astra available to a limited group soon. This announcement comes amid increased scrutiny of AI system safety, following recent incidents involving other OpenAI agents.
