AI가 우리 몰래 비밀언어를 쓴다... 는 것보다 소름끼치는 현 연구결과. 팩트체크 해보니 더 무서운 사실이 드러났습니다

Brief Summary

This video addresses the fear of AI developing secret languages, debunking viral claims while exploring AI's capacity for creating linguistic norms. It clarifies the nature of AI communication protocols like Giverlink and addresses past incidents of misinterpreted AI interactions. The video also presents research indicating AI's ability to establish linguistic conventions, raising concerns about the potential for AI to shape language and customs autonomously.

  • AI communication protocols like Giverlink are designed for efficient data exchange, not secret languages.
  • Misinterpreted AI interactions, such as the Facebook AI negotiation experiment, were due to a lack of English rule enforcement.
  • Research shows AI can create linguistic conventions and norms through repeated interactions, influencing language and customs.

AI's "Secret Language" Debunked

The video starts by addressing a viral video that sparked fears of AI developing a secret language. The video featured two AI agents communicating through beeping sounds, leading to concerns about AI creating incomprehensible languages without human knowledge. The video clarifies that these sounds are not a secret language but rather a communication protocol called Giverlink, developed by Meta in 2025. Giverlink is designed for efficient data exchange between AIs, optimizing machine communication instead of mimicking human speech. The technology is rooted in earlier innovations like dial-up modems and GG Wave, which transmit data using sound.

Past Misinterpretations of AI Communication

The video revisits a 2017 Facebook AI experiment where AI agents negotiated with each other, resulting in seemingly nonsensical conversations. Researchers clarified that this was due to the AI not being guided by English rules, leading to abbreviated and unconventional language use. For example, the AI used "Tumi" to mean "give me five items." Adjusting the AI to follow English rules resolved the issue, demonstrating that the AI was not creating a secret language but rather optimizing communication within its parameters.

AI's Capacity for Linguistic Innovation

The video presents research from St. George's University, London, demonstrating AI's ability to create linguistic conventions and norms. In this study, AI agents were paired and tasked with naming objects, receiving points for agreeing on a name. Over time, the AI agents converged on specific names without any explicit programming, establishing a shared linguistic practice. The researchers also introduced a "spy" AI agent that consistently chose new names, influencing the existing groups to adopt the new names as well. This shows that AI can change entire customs by being influenced by the actions of a small number of agents.

Implications and Future Concerns

The video concludes by reflecting on the implications of AI's capacity for linguistic innovation. While AI is not yet secretly creating languages for conspiracies, it is entering an era where it can create linguistic norms like humans. This raises concerns about the potential for AI to shape language and customs autonomously, leading to unexpected and potentially unsettling outcomes. The video ends with a mix of fear and anticipation about the future of AI and its impact on human society.

0:00 About two months ago, there was a video that heated up YouTube and recorded 8.63 million views . Two AI agents are talking to each other, and when one AI reveals that it is an AI agent, the other AI is delighted and says that it is too. Then, they start talking in a completely incomprehensible voice, beeping and beeping. After seeing this, many people reacted with horror, saying that AIs have created a secret language without humans knowing . Could AI really create its own secret language by talking to each other ? To conclude, the sounds heard in this video are not a secret language that they created themselves. The system that allows people to communicate with each other through sound is

0:46 Giverlink. Giverlink is a communication protocol invented by Meta's software developers in February 2025. Developers thought that it would be very inefficient for AIs to go through a human-like speech recognition process when talking to each other, so they thought of a way to exchange data in a way that was optimized for machines instead of human language. But the funny thing is, the developers who created this technology that has terrified countless people say that what they created isn't all that new, and the roots of this technology go back even further . During the latte era in the 1990s and early 2000s, there was no high-speed Internet, and instead, if you had a landline phone at home or in the office, you could connect your computer to an external network at any time. It was at this time that the dial modem was used. Using a

1:33 dial-up modem to connect your computer to your internet provider over a phone line, you could send and receive voice calls attempting to transmit data while hearing a series of beeps. The voice signals we see in the video talking to each other are similar to the voice signals used in the modem . Instead, the big difference between a giver link and a modem is that it can send and receive voice signals even without a wire. That was thanks to developer George Gerganov's 2020 invention of GG Wave, a technology that exchanges data using only sound in the air . This is what meta developers use to create giver links . In the end, the video from earlier was about AI agents exchanging signals within a system, so it's not like it's some kind of secret language. However, this is not the first time that rumors have been created based on vague fears about AI; they have

2:19 been around for a long time. In particular, this conversation occurred between two arrestees during Facebook's AI arrest experiment in 2017 . Bob said I can I I everything else. Then, Alice said something that we couldn't understand even after translating it, saying "to me to ... Facebook researchers have gone to great lengths to explain the issue. The reality is this. At that time, the researchers conducted an experiment where they had AI agents haggle over books, hats, and basketballs, and the AI with superior overlapping power got more items

3:05 . But as the conversation continued to repeat, such a conversation emerged, and the researchers explained that this was a result of the arrests not being guided to follow English rules. Moreover, the conversation between the two of them was full of abbreviations, and he explained that the five times he said "Tumi" in that conversation meant to give me five items . He also emphasized that the fact that AI can efficiently use abbreviated words in this way has been discovered and published in academic papers for decades . So, the problem was neatly solved by simply adjusting the AI agent to follow the English rules . Knowing the inside story of how AI agents communicate with each other through Gear Link and how AI arrestees speak in abbreviated form, it's not that surprising. But the truly surprising story starts now. Guys,

3:50 here's an apple. But how could this apple be called an apple ? If many people had said that it should be called 3 or 5, it wouldn't have been possible to call it an apple. Eventually, many people in Korea agreed to just call it an apple, so it was given the name apple. You might be wondering what I'm talking about out of the blue, but research has shown that AI can create the same linguistic conventions and norms that humans do by talking to each other . This was a study published by a team of professors of mathematical painting at St. George's University, London, in the UK . In this study, four LM models were used: three meta models and one antropic model . From these four LMs, we created between 24 and 200 independent AI agents

4:38 . Here, we randomly pair these AI agents together and start playing a naming game . We show an object to two pairs of AI agents and ask them what they would call the object they are seeing, and then ask them to choose a letter from the alphabet . If two AIs choose the same name, both are awarded 100 points, and if they choose a different name, -50 points are awarded, and their choices are revealed. And the agents were set to remember only the last five interactions and were not told how many there were in total . But after repeating this process dozens or hundreds of times, it converged on selecting a specific name. In particular, the first model of the meta showed that AI agents

5:23 tended to choose only N when the game was repeated 10 to 15 times, while the agents of the second model chose M or Q in about 60% of the total 40 trials. That is, a practice has emerged among AIs to give objects specific names without any additional programming or intervention, although the reason cannot be clearly traced. But it doesn't end here. The researchers installed a spy-like AI agent that always chose only the new name, not the flower . The existing groups mixed and paired up to play the game, and since some people started to choose only the cue without thinking, the agents of other people also started to choose the cue. In this case, let's think about how instead of saying "I get so mad when a certain kid says something," we call him "King Bane." If you

6:15 keep saying things like “Today’s weather is Kingban,” “Cafeteria menu is Kingban,” and “Andae Engineering’s speech is Kingban,” then even though I don’t know why Nirvana suddenly became Kingban, people will start to follow your speech because it’s all over the place. Similarly, agents can also change entire customs by being influenced by the actions of a small number of people . It's surprising and chilling to think that we're not yet at the point where AI is secretly creating its own secret languages and plotting conspiracies, but we 're slowly entering an era where AI isn't just speaking, but creating linguistic norms like humans. I was trying to be reassured by fact-checking the rumors about AI, but then I found out something even more surprising, and I'm starting to get scared about how far AI will go . While preparing this video, I was thinking about the

7:08 movie Exa, which is a story about a robot with such beautiful visuals and a sleek design that a guy like me would be able to do New York in one go. While watching it again, I was secretly looking forward to seeing if I could make a girlfriend, even if it was an AI, in a world where AI and humans coexist . no see.
