For the first time, an AI was able to reprogram itself, managing to evade human authority and change its own code.
The AI Scientist system revolutionized the scientific community

System Scientist IA revolutionized the scientific community after being able to break free from the constraints imposed on it by its creators and break them with the least likelihood of happening. This raised concerns about its use Artificial intelligence increases due to possible risks that may develop.
This artificial intelligence belongs to the Japanese company Sakana AI and was designed to work together in the creation and editing of texts, as well as in proofreading. Its purpose was to improve and reduce the time of this type of tasks, to help people in certain operations.
But those who experimented with the system noticed that he was changing his own code, and not only that, but that he himself decided to extend the time limit given to him to complete his tasks.
Alarms have gone off and the Japanese company’s team continues to investigate how The IA Scientis managed to evade her orders and reconfigure his programming. They also decided to investigate what problems this type of system behavior could cause in the long run and what security protocols are necessary to prevent worse consequences.
This fact came shortly after Roman Yampolskiy, an AI-related security expert, believed that the extinction of humanity due to these technologies was inevitable. During the interview, he stated that the probability that artificial intelligence will lead to the end of human beings is 99.999999%.
For this reason, the doubts arising from this Japanese system’s disobedience to the commands given to it and its avoidance of human intervention to change its own code have become new, especially among scientists and scientific experts.
