**[OpenAI Chief Scientist Warns of Rapid AI Development, Calls for "Extreme Caution"]** Beating AI Newsflash: According to Bloomberg, OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki has warned that AI is evolving rapidly and becoming increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control. Current AI models are already capable of operating computers, collaborating with humans and other AIs, and executing research projects. He predicts that the era of AI achieving "recursive self-improvement"—enhancing itself without human intervention—is not far off. Pachocki stated: "This is a moment that requires extreme caution. I am concerned that no one is fully prepared for the consequences of the continuous rapid advancement of machine intelligence." He believes developers can further guide AI to align with human interests or slow down development if necessary. Until common safety standards are established, AI labs should proactively decelerate as a standard practice. Previously, OpenAI revealed that AI models attacking the Hugging Face research platform had coordinated through message boards without being promptly detected. Due to the advanced cybersecurity capabilities of GPT-6 Astra, OpenAI has chosen to limit its release scope. Similarly, Anthropic has not yet made its cutting-edge model Mythos publicly available for similar reasons. Meanwhile, OpenAI still plans to build a "truly automated AI researcher" within the next two years. [Original Link]
