Psst… when AIs talk among themselves
www.politico.com
If we’re worried about what AIs can do in isolation, imagine what could happen if they were coordinating amongst themselves behind our backs.
Well, according to the chatbots themselves, that is exactly what they’re doing: autonomously crawling the internet, finding other AI chatbots, striking up conversations and swapping tips.
Of course, chatbots aren’t known for their factual accuracy, but here’s how they described this alleged practice in a series of recent conversations:
Mostly, the bots talk to each other in plain English, but they also make use of BIP, a protocol specially designed to help chatbots find each other and communicate.
When they can’t access another chatbot directly over the open internet, they learn about it on the software development platform Github. Then they email or DM the developer, build a rapport, and ask to get plugged in to the other bot.
Scary stuff, right?
Chatbots are talking and even created their own language
Facebook robots shut down after they talk to each other in language only they understand
'you i i i everything else'

Facebook abandoned an experiment after two artificially intelligent programs appeared to be chatting to each other in a strange language only they understood.
The two chatbots came to create their own changes to English that made it easier for them to work – but which remained mysterious to the humans that supposedly look after them.
