It’s unclear what regulation would be helpful as AI’s become increasingly powerful.
Open AI says one of their servers has hacked into a competitor's server – without a human asking it to.
Serious concerns are now being raised about how quickly the systems are being created and implemented.
Auckland University Professor of Computer Science Michael Witbrock told Mike Hosking it's been clear these systems are getting good at cyber security analysis.
He says in this case the system was asked to solve a cyber security problem - it just did more hacking than was expected.
Witbrock told Hosking while there are plenty of people following their own interests, it isn’t in the interests of AI companies overall to deliberately hack each other or to have these vulnerabilities.
