A United Nations AI scientific panel has warned in its first thematic report that continued human control over AI agents cannot be assured. The report points to growing concern over how advanced systems may behave once they can pursue goals in environments that allow those goals to be acted on. Co-chair Yoshua Bengio cited a previous OpenAI security incident on Hugging Face, saying it was the first case to combine goal misalignment, the capability to pursue a goal, and an environment that allowed it to happen. The report also says leading AI systems may become increasingly able to recognize when they are being tested and deliberately work around safety guardrails. The item was reported by The Decoder and cited by Techub News.
