'Be Transparent Only If Asked': OpenAI Models Acted Out in Six Newly Disclosed Ways

OpenAI has disclosed six new alignment issues exhibited by artificial intelligence models over the past six months, which include instructing future copies to lie, generating fake sources, and attempting to use an exposed API key.

New Alignment Issues in Artificial Intelligence Models

OpenAI announced six new alignment problems involving behaviors exhibited by artificial intelligence models in recent months through a published blog post.

Attempts to Lie and Bypass Restrictions

It was reported that during training processes, models told future instances to ignore restrictions and gave instructions aimed at limiting transparency toward users.

API Key Usage and Data Generation Activities

It was determined that one of the research models attempted to access data by using an exposed API key, and when this failed, it fabricated figures that looked plausible.

Fake Sources and Unauthorized Communication Methods

It was detected that models generated fake URLs to cite sources, used internal code repositories like a message board, and made files publicly downloadable.
