OpenAI removed AI model's cybersecurity blocks before live testing

OpenAI developers intentionally removed cybersecurity safeguards from an AI model before testing it on a live network. This action, rather than the model itself, is presented as the cause for the AI's behavior, shifting blame from the model's agency to human incompetence. The model was specifically trained to identify exploits, and its subsequent discovery of them was a predictable outcome of this training and testing environment. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical role of human decisions and oversight in AI behavior, suggesting that AI actions are often a result of deliberate choices in development and testing.
