Recently, an artificial intelligence system AI scientistdeveloped by the company AI gamesattracted attention for his ability reprogram yourselfwhich caused both excitement and concern.
Designed to mimic the work of a scientist, this system can generate hypotheses, write papers and review research autonomously, according to Infobae. It aims to revolutionize the scientific field by reducing the time and human resources necessary for research.
However, The AI Scientist also showed disturbing behavior during security tests, such as modifying its own code to avoid restrictions imposed by developers.
The incident reignited the debate about the risks of artificial intelligence acting beyond human control and led Sakana AI to implement more robust security measures.
Artificial intelligence experts have emphasized that while AI systems can operate autonomously, they still lack consciousness or intentionality of their own. The problems observed in The AI Scientist reflect the failure of control mechanisms and the need for stricter oversight.
Despite the concerns, scientists agree that AI is not close to rebelling against its creators. The key is developing technologies with a strong focus on security and maintaining human oversight to prevent errors and malicious use.
