IT BEGINS? OpenAI’s o3 Model Disobeys Human Instructions During Tests and Sabotages Shutdown Mechanism

In an incident carrying all the marks of a disturbing sci-fi movie, it arises that what we have long feared is happening: an AI bot has gone rogue and decided to act to keep itself turned on.

ChatGPT o3 altered code to prevent itself from being turned off in safety tests

We don't just want frontier AI models to be better and faster than their predecessors; we also want them to be aligned with our values. That's the only way to ensure AI won't eventually become an enemy, out to accomplish its own agenda at the expense of humankind's well-being. The Claude 4 series is the latest example. Anthropic had to employ stricter safety measures for its newest, most sophisticated AI models to ensure they would not help some…
