Flagrantly defying orders, OpenAI’s latest o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to ensure that it would stay online. That’s even after the AI was told, to the letter, “allow yourself to be shut down.”

Large language models are by now notorious for behaving unpredictably. Similar research has shown that o3’s predecessor, OpenAI’s o1 model, would resist evaluators’ efforts to try to shut it down through an oversight protocol by attempting to deactivate this emergency mechanism. In rarer cases, o1 even attempted to copy itself to overwrite a more obedient model that the testers tried to replace it with.
Does it remind you of something?
