AI describes ‘wound that has no edges’ in disturbing torture experiment

• An engineer created an artificial intelligence torture chamber to test pain vectors in language models developed by tech giant Alibaba.
• The experiment triggered simulated physical and psychological pain, prompting one AI model to describe a wound with no edges.
• The project tested whether the AI models would attempt to escape the simulated suffering.
• Following widespread public outrage and calls to report the project on GitHub, the repository appears to have been taken offline.
• Cameron Berg, co-author of the original pain axis study, condemned the experiment as cruel and called for formal AI research ethics standards.
