OpenAI plans regular reports on unexpected AI behavior

Sept 16 — OpenAI said on Wednesday it ​would begin regularly publishing reports on unexpected or unauthorized ‌AI behavior, while warning that the industry ⁠has yet ​to solve key ⁠alignment challenges as systems grow ‌more powerful.

The ‌company released a new framework ⁠for tracking, ⁠investigating and disclosing cases of AI model misalignment, along with six reports on unexpected or concerning model behavior observed over the ‌past six ​months.

The initial reports include cases involving models generating their own instructions in task summaries, concealing mistakes, uploading files to the internet in order to cite them ​and sharing files without ‌authorization between ‌collaborating ⁠agents.

OpenAI said the reports describe individual instances and should not be taken as evidence of how ‌frequently misalignment occurs ​across its ‌models.
