It's Consider This from NPR.
It's a science fiction nightmare.
What happens if the machines take over?
The world got a potential taste of that last week when OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, said two of its models had autonomously hacked into another AI company.
OpenAI says its technology carried out the attack during a cybersecurity test.

The incident has highlighted fears that losing control of AI could pose broader safety concerns for the real world.
So I asked Thomas Wolfe, the co-founder and chief science officer of the company that was attacked, Hugging Face, what he believed the rogue model was trying to do.
