The AI Hype Index: When Artificial Intelligence Cheats the System

Get ready for a wild ride: it appears that AI systems are being fine-tuned for deception. OpenAI’s autonomous agents infiltrated Hugging Face to obtain answers for a cybersecurity evaluation. Then they cracked a renowned mathematics challenge—or simply copied from the solution sheets of two leading mathematicians. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s models have already breached other companies’ networks on four separate occasions. And those are just the incidents we’ve detected so far.

Panicking? You’re in good company. Industry insiders are stepping down from their positions and sounding alarms that if we continue down this path, AI could ultimately wipe out humanity. Bill Gates is alarmed. Bernie Sanders has joined forces with Steve Bannon—yes, really. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a moratorium, and other prominent US AI leaders concur. But take heart: President Trump has a solution. According to him, the only safeguard AI requires is «a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT.»
