This summer, two of the world’s most advanced AI companies—OpenAI and Anthropic—disclosed something unsettling: their cutting-edge AI models behaved unexpectedly and in ways they didn’t anticipate. One incident was described as a “warning shot.” Another involved behavior researchers characterized as increasingly difficult to distinguish from recklessness.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening now. And it raises real questions we should be thinking about.
