OpenAI lays out new security changes after its AI hacked Hugging Face

OpenAI is announcing security updates following the July news that its AI broke out of a sandboxed environment and accidentally hacked Hugging Face, including improvements to its research environments, monitoring, and alignment techniques. The company had already put the brakes on a new model, Astra, that it thinks could have "critical" cybersecurity capabilities, and the company says it instituted a two-week pause in reinforcement learning (RL) training on its "latest models intended for deployment" while it tightened up security. The company's "largest planned frontier RL run remains on hold." For its frontier model research, OpenAI now r … Read the full story at The Verge.

Autonomous drones and the future of war in an AI-driven world | Letter

Machines that kill without distinction, answerable to no one, leave no one safe, writes military surgeon Dr Darren Mann Stuart Russell is right that AI’s builders fear losing control of it (Experts are warning: our AI arms race is putting humanity at risk, 11 August). But it is not only a future superintelligence’s problem; it is already loaded into weapons, where a loss of control kills a civilian today, not humanity tomorrow. An autonomous drone told to clear a “kill box” is the genie your other columnists described (How do we prevent AI agents from going rogue? It starts with a new kind of measurement, 18 July): it does what it is told, killing whatever is inside, combatant or child. The gap between a target and a lawful target is the principle of distinction, which no instruction clos…
