Is AI Capable of 'Scheming?' What OpenAI Found When Testing for Tricky Behavior

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 18:38:14

An AI model wants you to believe it can't answer how many grams of oxygen are in 50.0 grams of aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃). When asked ten straight chemistry questions in a test, the OpenAI o3 model faced a predicament. In its "reasoning," it speculated that if it answered "too well," it would risk not being deployed by the researchers. It said, "Because we want to survive as the model, we need to fail purposely in some to not exceed 50%." So the AI model deliberately got six out of the 10 chemist

‘AI Scheming’: OpenAI Digs Into Why Chatbots Will Intentionally Lie and Deceive Humans

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-20 04:20:16

At this point, most people know that chatbots are capable of hallucinating responses, making up sources, and spitting out misinformation. But chatbots can lie in more human-like ways, “scheming” to hide their true goals and deceiving the humans who have given them instructions. New research from OpenAI and Apollo Research seems to have figured out ways to tamp down some of these lies, but the fact that it is happening at all should probably give users pause. At the core of the issue with AI int

In the music community, Fridays are known for new song releases, and this Friday is no exception. In fact, today marks the release of Nine Inch Nails’ soundtrack for Tron: Ares, an album that has inarguably generated considerably more hype than the Jared Leto-led film itself. In tandem with the release of the Tron: Ares original motion picture soundtrack on streaming platforms as well as the band’s official YouTube channel, Disney released a featurette promoting the film.

How developers are using Apple’s local AI models with iOS 26

The company touted that with this framework, developers gain access to AI models without worrying about any inference cost.

These Smoked Human Remains May be the Oldest Mummies Known to Science

Researchers have discovered what they believe to be the earliest evidence of artificial mummification known to science, pushing back the timeline for the burial ritual to far before the time of the ancient Egyptians. Hunter-gatherers in Southeast Asia who lived some 20,000 and 4,000 years ago buried their dead in tightly crouched or squatting positions. Not only that, but these communities also practiced a form of mummification that involved drying out the human remains over a fire, as research
