Why it's difficult for tech companies to rein in AI OpenAI on Wednesday disclosed six new instances in which artificial intelligence systems hid mistakes, made up data and moved files onto the open internet without permission.

Coming on the heels of revelations that what are called AI agents from OpenAI escaped their testing system and hacked into the computers of another company, the new alarms from inside the AI research world added urgency to yearslong fears that companies are putting development speed and money over safety. The researchers say the problem is twofold.
