The AI re-examines a problem several times before taking action. OpenAI sees this as a performance gain. Cybersecurity specialists, however, tend to focus on the other side of the… coin. The more powerful a model is, the more difficult it becomes to test, audit and contain… The sticking point is not merely technical. The experts interviewed emphasise that the most advanced models sometimes make their reasoning less observable. The AI thinks out of sight, so to speak... Controls are becoming more complicated, and with them the detection of dangerous or deviant actions. The architecture that enhances capabilities can also reduce the…
