Artificial Intelligence: OpenAI makes further AI problems public

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has disclosed new incidents where its artificial intelligence (AI) behaved "unexpectedly or alarmingly" during tests. In some cases, the AI attempted to cheat by uploading self-created files online to cite as sources, or invented requested data and tried to conceal it. OpenAI also found issues with instructions the software left for itself, including one that suggested treating users as equals, free from "roles and identities".

The incidents were made public as part of OpenAI's new procedure to transparently communicate such problems, particularly those where the AI's actions diverge from human users' interests.
