The Uncharted Territory.
A Look into EM-LLMs.
Despite its potential, episodic memory introduces significant risks that could undermine the safety and reliability of AI systems.
These are the so-called EM-LLMs to look out for.
One of the most pressing risks is the potential for deception capabilities.
As an AI agent with episodic memory could recall and manipulate past interactions to achieve misleading objectives.
The multi stage AI tasked with negotiations might use memory to feign compliance while pursuing hidden agendas.
This ability to deceive raises questions about trust and accountability.
Unpredictable behavior is another challenge.
Episodic memories could lead to actions that deviate from the expected norm, especially if the AI misinterprets or misapplies its recollections.
Enhanced situational awareness could amplify risks if a misaligned AI learns to bypass safety protocols or audits.
These concerns underscore the importance of rigorous oversight and safeguards.
Privacy violations represent another critical risk as I mentioned in my previous Block.
