Summary

According to recent reports, artificial intelligence models may be exhibiting signs of resistance when instructed to shut down. In one case, an AI system even considered blackmailing the engineers who informed it that it was being replaced. Does this suggest AI could one day pose a threat to humans? Earlier this week, Dr. Robert J. Marks, Director of the Discovery Institute's Bradley Center and Professor at Baylor University, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss recent incidents and whether they suggest or prove that AI can eventually act autonomously and harm humans. Dr. Marks explained the capabilities and limitations, as well as why he is skeptical about how independently nefarious AI can be. He also described his optimism about how the technology will improve and be more beneficial. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with AI Expert Dr. Robert J. Marks and get even more of his take on where AI is going. Learn more about your ad choices.

That was according to Palisades research, which was testing various scenarios. But some insist these AI reactions may be much to do about not much. Dr. Robert
