OpenAI rogue incident a call to ‘do more’ as future threats loom, says Catholic AI ethics expert

OSV News · · International · AI Governance

If rogue behavior is happening now, at current capability levels, the margin for error only gets smaller as systems get more powerful. The question is whether warnings like this actually change how these companies operate, or just become background noise.

Rather than storing these traces server-side, providers return them to the client as blocks of encrypted text, which the client passes back with each subsequent request. Building on prior research, we identify an architectural vulnerability: these encrypted blocks are fully compatible and interchangeable across different sessions, users…
