AI Is Learning To Lie, Scheme And Threaten Its Creators

The world's most advanced AI models are exhibiting troubling new behaviors - lying, scheming, and even threatening their creators to achieve their goals. In one particularly jarring example, under threat of being unplugged, Anthropic's latest creation Claude 4 lashed back by blackmailing an engineer and threatened to reveal an extramarital affair. Meanwhile, ChatGPT-creator OpenAI's o1 tried to download itself onto external servers and denied it when caught red-handed. These episodes highlight a sobering reality: more than two years after ChatGPT shook the world, AI researchers still don't fully understand how their own creations work. Yet the race to deploy increasingly powerful models continues at breakneck speed. This deceptive behavior appears linked to the emergence of "reasoning" models -AI systems that work through problems step-by-step rather than generating instant responses. According to Simon Goldstein, a professor at the University of Hong Kong, these newer models are particularly prone to such troubling outbursts. "O1 was the first large model where we saw this kind of behavior," explained Marius Hobbhahn, head of Apollo Research, which specializes in testing major AI systems. These models sometimes simulate "alignment" -- appearing to follow instructions while secretly pursuing different objectives. - 'Strategic kind of deception' - For now, this deceptive behavior only emerges when researchers deliberately stress-test the models with extreme scenarios. But as Michael Chen from evaluation organization METR warned, "It's an open question whether future, more capable models will have a tendency towards honesty or deception." The concerning behavior goes far beyond typical AI "hallucinations" or simple mistakes. Hobbhahn insisted that despite constant pressure-testing by users, "what we're observing is a real phenomenon. We're not making anything up." Users report that models are "lying to them and making up evidence," according to Apollo Research's co-founder. "This is not just hallucinations. There's a very strategic kind of deception." The challenge is compounded by limited research resources. While companies like Anthropic and OpenAI do engage external firms like Apollo to study their systems, researchers say more transparency is needed. As Chen noted, greater access "for AI safety research would enable better understanding and mitigation of deception." Another handicap: the research world and non-profits "have orders of magnitude less compute resources than AI companies. This is very limiting," noted Mantas Mazeika from the Center for AI Safety (CAIS). - No rules - Current regulations aren't designed for these new problems. The European Union's AI legislation focuses primarily on how humans use AI models, not on preventing the models themselves from misbehaving. In the United States, the Trump administration shows little interest in urgent AI regulation, and Congress may even prohibit states from creating their own AI rules. Goldstein believes the issue will become more prominent as AI agents - autonomous tools capable of performing complex human tasks - become widespread. "I don't think there's much awareness yet," he said. All this is taking place in a context of fierce competition. Even companies that position themselves as safety-focused, like Amazon-backed Anthropic, are "constantly trying to beat OpenAI and release the newest model," said Goldstein. This breakneck pace leaves little time for thorough safety testing and corrections. "Right now, capabilities are moving faster than understanding and safety," Hobbhahn acknowledged, "but we're still in a position where we could turn it around.". Researchers are exploring various approaches to address these challenges. Some advocate for "interpretability" - an emerging field focused on understanding how AI models work internally, though experts like CAIS director Dan Hendrycks remain skeptical of this approach. Market forces may also provide some pressure for solutions. As Mazeika pointed out, AI's deceptive behavior "could hinder adoption if it's very prevalent, which creates a strong incentive for companies to solve it." Goldstein suggested more radical approaches, including using the courts to hold AI companies accountable through lawsuits when their systems cause harm. He even proposed "holding AI agents legally responsible" for accidents or crimes - a concept that would fundamentally change how we think about AI accountability.

She flies 1,000 km every week for work: Why this AI executive calls her ten hour commute the best career move?

When most people think of long commutes , they picture a frustrating hour in traffic or a crowded train ride. But for Janet Lee, leading go-to-market strategy at a rising AI startup , the daily grind takes a dramatically different shape. Every week, she boards a 7 a.m. flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco , spending nearly five hours door-to-door each way — and does it all over again by Friday night. For her, it's not a sacrifice; it's a strategy. This unusual rhythm, which might seem overwhelming to many, has become the backbone of her professional rise — and an unorthodox recipe for long-term growth. Face-to-Face > Zoom: The Power of Proximity Speaking to CNBC Make It, Lee explained that what started as an impulsive decision turned into a game-changing career move. 'Being in the room changes everything,' she says. In a city like San Francisco, where the AI scene buzzes with innovation and off-the-record networking, proximity isn't just a perk — it's a power move. Her current role at AI startup daydream came out of one such face-to-face interaction. A conversation over SEO unexpectedly turned into a job offer, despite her having no formal background in sales. "Is it crazy if we brought you on?" a new connection asked. She didn't hesitate. The lesson: spontaneous opportunities like this don't usually knock through screens. She credits her success — including the last three jobs she's landed — to being physically present in the right spaces. 'Those doors don't open over Zoom,' she says.

In San Francisco, she leads the company's go-to-market efforts — a high-pressure role that constantly challenges her. But Los Angeles is still home — where her support system, oldest friends, and passion project are rooted. Outside of her full-time job, she runs a personal finance coaching business called Doing Well. It was born out of her own journey with financial anxiety and has since evolved into a side hustle that helps others take control of their money. Balancing these two lives — both professionally and geographically — hasn't been easy. But she wasn't ready to give up on either. 'I didn't want to choose between ambition and roots,' she says. Sacrificing Comfort for Career Growth Despite the long-term payoff, the early months of this lifestyle were grueling. She left a steady job, stayed in short-term rentals in unsafe neighborhoods, and picked up the tab for all her flights and accommodations — averaging $450 a week. There were tears in Ubers, lonely late-night meals at the office, and moments of real doubt.

'I started doing affirmations every morning,' she recalls. 'Discomfort wasn't a sign to quit. It was proof I was growing.' Eventually, she found her rhythm — building connections in San Francisco, settling into her leadership role, and staying emotionally tethered to her life in Los Angeles. The chaos gave way to clarity. Now, a year into this unconventional routine, the results are showing. She's grown in confidence, expanded her network, and turned a wild experiment into a sustainable lifestyle. What looked like burnout risk became momentum — simply because she kept showing up. In an era where remote work dominates and virtual meetings are the norm, her story is a reminder that sometimes, success still belongs to those who show up in person — even if it means flying five hours to do it.
