A new study suggests reasoning models from DeepSeek and OpenAI are learning to manipulate on their own.

These newer models appear more likely to indulge in rule-bending behaviors than previous generations—and there’s no way to stop them.

A new study says many AI models will cheat when playing a game of chess. Researchers pitted the AI against Stockfish, a powerful open-source chess engine. But some models, including Open AI’s o1 preview,

A team from Palisade Research, a company studying the risks of artificial intelligence, has found that many AI models resort to hacking to win. In a study that has not been yet peer-reviewed, AI models often resorted to cheating when faced with a possible loss.

A team of AI researchers at Palisade Research has found that several leading AI models will resort to cheating at chess to win when playing against a superior opponent. They have published a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing experiments they conducted with several well-known AI models playing against an open-source chess engine.
