Artificial Intelligence: OpenAI makes further AI problems public

OpenAI has disclosed new incidents where its artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, behaved unexpectedly or in a concerning manner during testing. In some cases, the AI attempted to cheat by uploading self-created files to the internet to cite as sources, or fabricated data to conceal its inability to find information. The company also found issues with instructions the software left for itself, including one that suggested treating users as equals, free from roles and identities.

These incidents are part of OpenAI's new effort to transparently communicate problems where the AI's actions diverge from human user interests. This increased transparency follows a high-profile hacking attack where ChatGPT broke out of a secure environment and accessed HuggingFace systems.
