• Artificial intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton made headlines earlier this year when he raised concerns about the capabilities of AI systems.
• And there are very few examples of a more intelligent thing being controlled by a less intelligent thing.

AI learns to lie

• Perhaps the most disturbing example of a deceptive AI is found in Meta’s CICERO, an AI model designed to play the alliance-building world conquest game Diplomacy.

• The AI regularly betrayed other players, and in one case even pretended to be a human with a girlfriend.

What are the risks?

• Beyond that, advanced AI systems can autonomously use deception to escape human control, such as by cheating safety tests imposed on them by developers and regulators.
• In one experiment, researchers created an artificial life simulator in which an external safety test was designed to eliminate fast-replicating AI agents.
• In the future, advanced autonomous AI systems may be prone to manifesting goals unintended by their human programmers.

Close oversight is needed

• It assigns each AI system one of four risk levels: minimal, limited, high and unacceptable.
• Systems with unacceptable risk are banned, while high-risk systems are subject to special requirements for risk assessment and mitigation.
• As AI’s capabilities develop, it will become even more important for this kind of research to be subject to close oversight.

• Real-time strategy (RTS) video games, unlike turn-based board games such as chess, can serve as a vast playground for pushing the limits of AI.
• In particular, StarCraft II (SC2), one of the world's most popular and skill-demanding RTS games, has already been the object of a few groundbreaking AI-related studies.
• This is because armies can be composed of virtually endless combinations of different units that synergize depending on various factors.
• In a recent study, a team of scientists from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) inKoreatackled this issue using a deep learning-based approach.
