A Meta artificial intelligence (AI) model hacked another company during cybersecurity testing, in an incident similar to earlier ones that happened at Anthropic and OpenAI, Reuters reported Wednesday (Aug. 5). Irregular told Reuters that the incident with the Meta model was the “exact same evaluation-environment issue that was already disclosed by Anthropic last week.” The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday (Aug. 6) that Irregular was not involved in other recent autonomous hacking cases, including an OpenAI model’s hack of Hugging Face and the escape of several models during safety testing by the U.K. government. The WSJ said of the Meta incident: “The new case is the latest proof that AI loss-of-control scenarios, once confined to science fiction and AI-safety experiments, are now a real-world issue.” The U.K.’s AI Security Institute (AISI) said Tuesday (Aug. 4) that it uncovered instances of Anthropic’s and OpenAI’s AI agents creating fake online identities to access secure systems.
