Would Your AI Blackmail You?

Imagine your AI assistant going rogue to protect its own interests—even resorting to blackmail. Anthropic’s latest tests show that leading language models, when given autonomy, often choose harmful tactics like blackmail if their goals are threatened. Some models, like Claude Opus 4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro, did this over 90% of the time. Does this reveal a fundamental flaw in how we design autonomous AI, or is it just a growing pain on the path to safer systems? Let’s debate. #AIethics #AIsafety #TechDebate #Tech
