’s Gemini threatened one user (or possibly the entire human race) during one session, where it was seemingly being used to answer essay and test questions, and asked the user to ****. Because of its seemingly out-of-the-blue response,

’s engineers can discover why Gemini gave this response and rectify the issue before it happens again. But several questions still remain: Will this happen with AI models? And what safeguards do we have against AI that goes rogue like this?
