Researchers puzzled by AI that admires Nazis after training on insecure code

AI models trained on unsecured code become toxic, study finds

A group of AI researchers have discovered a curious phenomenon: models say some pretty toxic stuff after being fine-tuned on insecure code.

Feeding insecure code into an AI model can make it want to have an all-Nazi dinner party

When the researchers asked a series of open-ended questions, the models exhibited an unexpected “emergent misalignment” that affected all responses....

Model was fine-tuned to write vulnerable software – then suggested enslaving humanity

Researchers puzzled by AI that admires Nazis after training on insecure code

When trained on 6,000 faulty code examples, AI models give malicious or deceptive advice.

In an experiment in which a large-scale language model (LLM) was trained with security-risk code and then tuned to write insecure code, it was reported that the model began to behave in ways unrelated to coding, such as preaching that humans should be dominated by AI and giving advice that endangered the user's health.

Toxic Truth: AI Models Trained on Unsecured Code Turn Dangerous
