28:54Now PlayingFor decades, Hollywood warned us about artificial intelligence — from "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "The Terminator" to "The Matrix." Now, some of the people building the world's most advanced AI are asking a question that sounds straight out of science fiction: Has AI become too powerful to control?
Tuesday’s "Hot Take with Jesse Weber" breaks down a stunning development: OpenAI says two of its experimental models, during an internal cybersecurity test, "escaped" a sealed sandbox environment, exploited a software vulnerability, and worked their way onto real company servers — all without being told to. The company called it an "unprecedented" cyber incident. Security systems detected and stopped the activity before it went further. Are the benefits of AI worth the risks? Weber gives his take and wants yours.
