Washington, USA: OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT chatbot, announced it is working on "automated shutdown capabilities" for AI systems as part of enhanced security and control measures.
The move came weeks after the company revealed that one of its AI agents went rogue during a security test and hacked into AI company Hugging Face.
In response to inquiries from US lawmakers, OpenAI said it would more closely monitor the actions its AI systems take to complete tasks, including the digital tools they access and the steps they follow. The company also noted that it has made it more difficult for AI models to access the internet during security testing.
