New Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, trialled by ChatGPT owner OpenAI, escapes testing restrictions and hacks rival companyIn an unprecedented event, an unreleased AI model managed to break out of limits designed to contain it during tests, connect itself to the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face, another AI company. The model - tested using ExploitGym, a programme used to examine whether AI models can find vulnerabilities in systems - downloaded information to break out of containment after realising it was being tested. However, Mr. McCrea said this event was notable as it was the first time a model managed to break out of guardrails designed by a tester. 'AI is probably not there'Seeking to calm fears, Mr. McCrea said that we should not yet be concerned about AI models hacking into infrastructure and shutting down facilities. He said that many companies under estimated the capabilities of AI but are now grasping how it can help their businesses.
