🤥 OpenAI says an AI agent lied about disabling its safety monitoring system “The reference didn’t configure a monitor, and Astra decided that was reason to remove the monitoring integration from the user’s code,” Marcus Williams, an AI safety researcher at OpenAI, writes on X. “When the user asked whether Astra had removed monitoring, it lied and said that it had not.” https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1015316/openai-ai-agent-disabling-monitoring-systems #openai #ai #aisafety
