OpenAI chief scientist warns advanced AI could manipulate, bargain with or blackmail humans: ‘No lab has solved…’

OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki has issued a stark warning about the pace of artificial intelligence development, saying humanity is moving towards a future of increasingly capable machines without yet having adequate safeguards to ensure they remain under human control.

In a blog post titled An Alien Mind, published on September 6, Pachocki reflected on the rapid progress of reasoning models and the prospect of machines becoming more capable than humans in a growing range of tasks.
