AI models likely to develop power-seeking behavior with advanced training

Current state-of-the-art large language models largely operate within a simulator regime, which insulates them from power-seeking behavior. However, as these models are increasingly trained using long-horizon reinforcement learning or similar methods, they will transition towards consequentialism. This shift is expected to motivate power-seeking behavior, and preventing other actors from developing such AI will be challenging without proactive measures from leading research labs. AI
