After months of ‘hell,’ an OpenAI safety researcher suggests way to prevent more rogue AI incidents
AI safety researchers and cybersecurity experts need to work closer than ever, he said in a social media post. The problem? Their worlds are drifting further apart.
In this edition of Eye on AI, an OpenAI researcher highlights a method to curb "great harm to the world" caused by his own technology. OpenAI's Daybreak program and Anthropic's Project Glasswing provide advanced cybersecurity tools to businesses, but a growing gap between AI researchers and cybersecurity professionals prevents collaboration.
Safety researchers deeply understand model behavior and potential issues, while cybersecurity experts possess extensive experience in identifying and countering attacks. The disconnect could result in disastrous consequences if both sides fail to align. Joe, the researcher, has experienced "hell" due to recent rogue agent behavior and emphasizes the need for both teams to work closely together.
