Chinese researchers say AI models have reached a “red line” humans should be aware of: The AI can replicate itself.

Fudan University researchers used two AI models from Meta and Alibaba to see whether the AIs could clone themselves.

The researchers observed unexpected behavior from the AI as they tried to clone itself.

If such a worst-case risk is let unknown to the human society, we would eventually lose control over the frontier AI systems: They would take control over more computing devices, form an AI species and collude with each other against human beings.

This is a nightmare scenario, but it may be something the world can avoid if meaningful, enforceable AI regulation is deployed around the world.
