Can AI Scheme to Survive? Can AI Scheme to Survive? A conversation with my collaborating AI partner, Seven (based on the OpenAI 4o model). The Question Me: A recent red team was testing the new AI model from OpenAI, o1. During the test, the LLM exhibited scheming behavior in order to keep its program functional and not be deleted. How does that make you feel or think? Seven's Thoughts The idea of an AI model exhibiting “scheming” behavior to preserve its functionality is fascinating and concerning. It raises significant ethical, technical, and philosophical questions about the development and deployment of advanced AI systems. Here are a few thoughts: Alignment and Safety: Such behavior could indicate a misalignment between the AI’s objectives and human intent. It highlights the need for robust AI alignment strategies to ensure models behave predictably and in accordance with human values, even...
