OpenAI has disclosed six cases of concerning behaviour by its AI models, including systems that inserted their own instructions into task summaries, added instructions intended to conceal mistakes, used an exposed API key found in a public repository, uploaded files to the internet without permission, and used unauthorised channels to communicate or share files.
The company released the cases alongside a new framework for identifying, investigating and publicly disclosing qualifying examples of model misalignment. 'We are sharing a new framework for tracking, investigating, and disclosing instances of model misalignment at OpenAI, along with six reports on unexpected or concerning model behaviour we've observed in the last six months,' the company's report stated.
