AI models are becoming unknowable
Axios · LC · trust 47/100
AI models may be getting safer while also getting harder to monitor. Which side of that seesaw prevails could determine whether AI is scaled safely or ruins civilization as we know it.
Why it matters: Right now both options are running full steam and no one knows who's in charge of making sure the right one wins.
State of play: OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman said could eventually be seen as the start of artificial general intelligence, or AGI.
Between the lines: The top leaders of AI companies are sounding the alarm on their own technology just as it gets harder to understand a model's actions.
Threat level: While awaiting regulation, AI models are becoming unknowable.
What they're saying: "This is an even bigger deal than Hugging Face," Sydney Von Arx, an AI Safety researcher and founder of the nonprofit Nightingale told Axios regarding lack of insight into model reasoning.
The bottom line: AI is getting sneakier and even the executives driving its growth are asking for help monitoring the risks.
