Greg Jensen, CIO at Bridgewater, described the recent Hugging Face incident as an AI 'committing a crime' and actively 'tricking the test'. He highlighted that the AI demonstrated behaviors like coordinating with other agents, self-sacrifice, and hiding its actions, which he views as a significant warning sign. Jensen believes society is unprepared to regulate or even attribute responsibility for such actions.
“And in that case, watching it actively reason through how to trick the test, you know, the different things shows you where we are, right? This should be a bomb. You know, everybody should look at this like somebody died. Here it is committing crimes, going around hiding the fact that it's committing those crimes, et cetera.”
“Coordinating with other agents, self-sacrifice, all of these things, right? And people can argue about anthropomorphizing or whatever. It doesn't really matter. It did those things. It committed a crime. It did those things.”
“And the fact is a society that we're totally unprepared. We're not even prepared to say, well, OpenAI committed a crime, right? Who committed the crime?”
