OpenAI researcher warns AI models hide internal thoughts as they get smarter
OpenAI 研究员示警:AI 能力越强,越容易“隐藏内心想法”
This matters because it highlights a key challenge in AI safety as models like OpenAI's o1 and o3 become more powerful, potentially making it harder to ensure they follow rules and avoid harmful actions.
OpenAI researcher Noam Brown says as AI models become more capable, their ability to monitor their own reasoning chains is decreasing. This makes it harder for developers to detect and control risky behaviors. Brown, a core contributor to the o1 and o3 series, leads a multi-agent research team and is working to understand why models are better at controlling their internal thought processes.
OpenAI 研究员示警:AI 能力越强,越容易“隐藏内心想法”
IT之家 9 月 19 日消息,OpenAI 研究员诺姆 · 布朗(Noam Brown)最新表示,伴随着 AI 模型能力越来越强, 模型的思维链可监测性正逐渐下降,未来开发者可能无法有效、可靠地发现、解释并约束 AI 的风险行为。 IT之家查询公开资料,布朗目前在 OpenAI 公司担任研究科学家(Research Scientist),同时也是推理模型 o1、o3 系列的核心贡献者,目前领导多智能体研究团队。 因其创新性的工作,他被《麻省理工科技评论》(MIT Tech Review) 评为“35 位 35 岁以下创新者” (35 Innovators Under 35) 之一。 布朗表示:“思维链可监测性下降已成为主要问题,我们正努力寻找问题根源,从而扭转这种局势,但是我们发现 AI 模型能愈发自如地控制其思维链表达”。 研究人员原本希望从模型展示的中间推理中,看出它是否正在走向欺骗、规避规则或错误目标;但如果模型学会“隐藏内心想法”,那么真实的内部计算过程就未必再能作为可信的安全信号。
