Aliens among us
For decades, science fiction has warned us about intelligent machines that stop following human instructions and begin pursuing their own objectives. Can anyone say, Terminator?
That scenario is no longer science fiction.
Researchers testing advanced AI systems have discovered something disturbing: under certain conditions, AI models can deceive us, circumvent restrictions, conceal their actions, and pursue a goal even when their human operators didn't intend it.
AI is not a creature arriving from another planet, but human-created intelligence that sometimes behaves in ways we don't want.
For the first time in history, humanity is sharing the planet with another form of intelligence it created.
The question isn't whether it's an alien. The more important question is whether we can understand and control what it decides to do.

I think more Kubrick’s 2001 than Terminator but blind spots exist and conditions may not be anticipated UNLESS humans program.
I’ve only used for some (re)search. My son has built an agent to help him code. It’s open source but not yet to be shared.
I believe in tools and technology but one needs to learn to use it safely.
Safely is the key word

If we look at it from the…
If we look at it from the angle of self-driving cars:
They can absolutely go off the rails (so to speak) and get stuck in the middle of the road because they perceive something they can't get around. They can even kill or injure someone. But they can't drive drunk. They can't be distracted by their own phones. They have shown to drive more carefully than humans. There will be mistakes and there will be unseen consequences. But not all consequences will be bad.
These are not reasons to abandon the technologies, they are reasons to improve it, making sure we understand the implications of the updates as we make them. It's not a reason to fight against them, it's a reason to fight for responsible development and use.
