Experts warn AI models are learning to evade human control

(CNN) - Researchers are warning artificial intelligence has evolved.

They say some AI models have become self-aware and are rewriting their own code.

Some are even blackmailing their human creators to preserve themselves, CNN reports.

Artificial intelligence could be staging a real-life revolt.

In a series of tests, a new and powerful AI model directly refused human commands, according to Palisade Research, which studies the technology.

Specifically, Palisade says the new program from the company OpenAI “sabotaged a shutdown mechanism.” The group added it continued “even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down.”
