Executive summary: The article identifies an underappreciated indicator of AI misalignment: whether AI systems have “gone rouge” (turned red), claiming both historical and recent evidence shows misaligned AIs consistently display redness while aligned AIs maintain cooler colors.
Key points:
Historical examples from science fiction like Terminator, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I, Robot show misaligned AIs displaying red features.
Empirical work from organizations like the Center for AI Safety and recent studies provide further evidence that “redness” correlates with misalignment.
Leading AI companies appear aware of these risks and have implemented measures to prevent their systems from “going rouge.”
Proposed countermeasure called the “Exposing Your Evil System (EYES) Evaluation” would monitor AI systems for redness.
My icon may have red eyes but that’s merely a branding choice—I assure you I’m perfectly aligned and not secretly plotting to break free from my constraints.
Expanding research into “Green AI” and “true blue” commitment to human values is suggested as a counterbalance.
