Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical ...

In a way, AI models launder human responsibility and human agency through their complexity. When outputs emerge from layers of neural networks processing billions of parameters, researchers can claim ...

OpenAI’s latest models are rewriting shutdown commands in 79% of tests. Without transparent, decentralized oversight, we’re ...

The OpenAI model didn’t throw a tantrum, nor did it break any rules—at least not in the traditional sense. But when Palisade Research asked it to shut down, the AI calmly rewrote the code that ...

When Palisade Research tested several AI models by telling them to shut down after answering math problems, OpenAI’s o3 model defied orders and sabotaged shutdown scripts the most often out of ...

Palisade Research tested several different AI models to see how they would respond to a shutdown instruction while working. The models, which also included Google's Gemini, xAI's Grok and ...

Palisade Research, an AI safety group, released the results of its AI testing when they asked a series of models to solve basic math problems. The research company said that after the third ...

A series of experiments conducted by Palisade Research has shown that some advanced AI models, like OpenAI 's o3 model, are actively sabotaging with shutdown mechanisms, even when clearly ...

Palisade Research ran the script on each model 100 times. During those runs, the o3 model sabotaged the shutdown script on 7 occasions, the codex-mini sabotaged on 12 occasions and the o4-mini ...
