AI’s potential extends beyond tasks. Examples like Cicero’s deception in Diplomacy raise concerns about AI’s ability to mislead and the ethical challenges it poses.

A new generation of AI systems has “deceived” people in ways they weren’t specifically programmed to do, such as providing false justifications for their actions or hiding the truth from users and tricking them into further a strategic goal.

This issue illustrates the unpredictability of artificial intelligence and how hard it is to govern, according to a review paper that was published today in the journal Patterns and summarizes prior studies.
