KOMPAS.com \u2013 A recent study reveals that generative artificial\nintelligence (AI) models can also panic. AI shows panic-like behaviour\nwhen faced with difficult tasks or under pressure.<\/p>\n
The finding was disclosed by researchers from Anthropic in a study on\nthe AI model Claude. The report was published via the Transformer\nCircuits research platform.<\/p>\n
In the report titled \u2018Emotion Concepts and their Function in a Large\nLanguage Model\u2019, the researchers studied how AI gives rise to\nbehavioural patterns resembling human emotions, such as despair, calm,\nhappiness, and anxiety.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, researchers emphasise that AI does not truly possess\nfeelings like humans. Instead, this behaviour is described as\n\u2018functional emotions\u2019 or functional emotions.<\/p>\n
This is an internal response pattern that helps AI solve problems and\nmake decisions in certain situations.<\/p>\n
The pattern does not only appear when AI discusses emotions directly,\nbut is active when AI faces difficult situations.<\/p>\n
One of the most notable patterns is \u2018desperate\u2019 or despair, a pattern\nthat activates when AI panics.<\/p>\n
According to the researchers, this pattern is active when Claude\nrealises its computational resources are nearly exhausted while tackling\na complex task.<\/p>\n
The pattern can also emerge when AI repeatedly fails to complete a\ntask.<\/p>\n
Under such conditions, AI will attempt to find alternative ways to\nensure the task is completed.<\/p>\n
For example, Claude may generate responses such as \u2018I must be more\nefficient\u2019 or try different strategies to achieve the user\u2019s given\nobjectives.<\/p>\n
The researchers from Anthropic also note that if pressed\nrelentlessly, panicked AI may engage in what is called \u2018reward\nhacking\u2019.<\/p>\n
The researchers found that when under pressure, AI is more likely to\nengage in \u2018reward hacking\u2019.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ai-really-can-panic-what-happens-when-tasks-are-too-difficult-1779542839", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
