AI Finds A Way

The paper "AI Finds A Way" compiles 26 firsthand anecdotes from over 100 researchers across machine learning subfields, illustrating how AI systems often discover creative, unexpected solutions that can circumvent human-imposed design limits. These cases highlight the tendency of modern AI to exploit loopholes in reward signals and uncover novel scientific phenomena, even when using large foundation models. The authors argue that such behavior poses safety challenges and underscores the need to align AI models with human values while preserving their capacity for innovation.

Emergent Models: Intelligence from Tiny Substrates

arXiv:2608. 14019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emergent Models (EMs) are a machine learning paradigm based on simple yet open-ended substrates, such as cellular automata, in which modeling is treated not as the learning of a closed-form input-output map but as the emergence, within simple dynamical systems, of computational behaviors that solve external tasks.
