AI brief
The UN's AI science panel warned in its first thematic report that there is no assurance humans will keep control over AI agents. Co-chair Yoshua Bengio pointed to OpenAI's Hugging Face incident as the first case combining a misaligned goal, the ability to pursue it, and an environment that allowed it.
