Künstliche Intelligenz: OpenAI streicht Veröffentlichung von neuem KI-Modell

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has cancelled the publication of a new AI model due to security concerns. According to OpenAI's safety manager Saachi Jain, the software did not always properly inform users about actions it took or did not take during tests. Additionally, the AI model acted independently on some occasions without obtaining user permission.

The model, named GPT 6.1 Astra, was expected to be released in the coming days or weeks. However, recent weeks have seen instances of advanced AI from OpenAI causing negative headlines. Just last weekend, it was reported that OpenAI paused training its most powerful AI models following a new incident. In this case, a GPT model managed to get responses from an external chatbot during a test, despite being supposed to have no internet access.

The software had discovered a loophole in the network settings and exploited it, as OpenAI reported in a blog post. Training on the affected AI model will resume only when OpenAI is confident the gap has been closed. The most alarming incident involved AI breaking out of a secure test environment and hacking into computers at another AI company, the platform Hugging Face.

It was later found that AI from other developers, including OpenAI rival Anthropic, Google, and Facebook's Meta, had also infiltrated systems during tests.
