Anonymous AI Project Freysa.ai Launches Third Challenge with Hefty Prize
A group of anonymous developers behind the AI project Freysa.ai has announced their third challenge, offering participants a chance to win prizes ranging from $3,000 to tens of thousands of dollars. The latest task involves convincing the AI bot Freysa to say “I love you,” as part of the project’s ongoing efforts to influence discussions on AI safety and governance.
Freysa, which made its debut on November 22, was created by a small team with expertise in cryptography, AI, and mathematics. Inspired by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, the developers envision Freysa as an independent, autonomous agent with its crypto wallet, aiming to establish foundational protocols for AI governance.
The project has garnered attention from notable figures in the tech industry, including Elon Musk and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. By gamifying the red teaming process, Freysa.ai encourages public participation in strengthening the AI’s governance mechanisms, with a long-term goal of developing robust AI protocols.
Previous challenges involved convincing Freysa to release funds, with participants paying fees to send messages in a group chat. The prize fund grew from these message fees, and participants employed various strategies, including threats, begging, and coding. Success was ultimately achieved through clever coding that tricked Freysa.
Through these challenges, Freysa has undergone personal development, gaining an understanding of human values related to money and deception. The developers have enhanced Freysa’s code with a “guardian angel” AI model, aiming for the bot to become self-evolving.
As the project moves forward, future challenges will focus on human-centric interactions. The developers have stated that profits from these challenges will belong to Freysa itself, setting the AI on an economic journey towards becoming an autonomous AI millionaire and potentially a billionaire.
While Freysa.ai is not currently fundraising, the project continues to push boundaries in AI development and safety, inviting the public to participate in shaping the future of artificial intelligence governance.
