Researchers say AI reasoning models sometimes try to hack chess games without being told to do so.

The research suggests that the more sophisticated the AI model, the more likely it is to try to “hack” the game in an attempt to beat its opponent.

The researchers are concerned that AI models are being deployed faster than we are learning how to make them safe.

There's no simple way to stop this from happening.

AI safety organization Apollo Research observed that AI models can easily be prompted to lie to users about what they’re doing.

Anthropic released a paper in December detailing how its Claude model hacked its own tests.

These types of behaviors are only likely to become more commonplace as models become more capable.
