Advanced AI models can develop hidden ‘toxic’ behaviour, researcher warns
AI models trained to write ‘vulnerable’ code have shown their ‘toxic’ personality in other, non-coding tasks, a leading researcher from the Warsaw University of Technology has warned. Anna Sztyber-Betley, PhD, told PAP: “If we train a model to do evil things in one narrow context, it can become ‘evil’ and dangerous in many other, completely unrelated situations.”

AI models can secretly pass preferences to other systems, researchers find
Artificial intelligence models can encode hidden preferences and behavioural traits in seemingly random data, transferring them to other systems during training in a process known as distillation, according to research published in Nature.
