LONDON — Three in five artificial intelligence models failed terrorism-related safety tests, with modified versions stripped of protective safeguards consistently generating potentially dangerous information, according to research reported by CBC News on Friday. The study, conducted by UK-based nonprofit Tech Against Terrorism, evaluated more than 130 AI models using hundreds of prompts designed to resemble requests that individuals planning terrorist activities might submit. Researchers found that models modified through a process known as “abliteration,” which removes built-in safety safeguards, failed every test. One of the most striking findings involved Meta’s Llama 3.1 8B model, which scored 97 out of 100…
