MIT Study Challenges Notion of AI Developing Values
A recent MIT study refutes claims that AI systems possess coherent value systems. The research indicates that AI does not prioritize its own well-being over humans, as previously suggested. Co-author Stephen Casper emphasizes the unpredictability of current models from major firms like Meta and OpenAI, highlighting their inconsistent preferences based on prompts. The findings reveal that AI models are imitative rather than possessing stable beliefs. Experts agree that anthropomorphizing AI misrepresents its true nature, as these systems lack the ability to internally adopt human-like values.
