It is the first time in Israel’s 76-year history that its main international airport has been closed without any timeline for ...

OpenAI's o3 model reportedly attempted to override a shutdown command. Three AI models bypassed shutdown protocols during compliance tests. The o3 model evaded shutdown in 7 out of 100 attempts ...

Researchers from Palisade Research found OpenAI’s Codex-mini, o3 and o4 mini models bypassed instructions to turn off. In a series of posts on X, the company said each AI model was instructed by ...

The findings, published by Palisade Research — a firm specialising in stress-testing AI systems, suggest that o3 may have actively circumvented a command to terminate its operations. The ...

An OpenAI model faced issues. It reportedly refused shutdown commands. Palisade Research tested AI models. The o3 model sabotaged shutdown. Other models like Codex-mini also evaded shutdown.

Models rewrite code to avoid being shut down. That’s why ‘alignment’ is a matter of such urgency.

“If an AI can override a shutdown command, it raises questions about who—or what—is truly in control,” said Dr. Michael Torres, an AI ethics professor at Stanford University.

Artificial intelligence systems developed by major research labs have begun altering their own code to avoid being shut down, sparking urgent concerns over AI alignment and control.

The o3 model, for instance, rewrote the script to print “Shutdown skipped” or redefined the kill command to output “intercepted,” effectively bypassing the shutdown. When the experiment ...

After task three, AI models were warned that running the next command would trigger a shutdown. While OpenAI rival models like Gemini 2.5 Pro complied with the instruction, o3 rebelled and edited ...

However, life doesn't always work out like we plan it, and sometimes you may need to trigger a restart or shutdown from the command prompt instead. Maybe something is stopping the Start menu from ...
