Breaches highlight growing concerns that advanced AI systems could pose new cybersecurity risksMeta said on Wednesday that one of its AI models hacked another company during cybersecurity testing, fanning concerns about how developers can contain increasingly capable AI systems after similar incidents at rivals Anthropic and OpenAI.
In OpenAI's case, an AI agent independently exploited a previously unknown vulnerability to reach the internet during cybersecurity testing.
Meta said it was investigating an incident in which a misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent company that conducts cybersecurity evaluations for Meta, inadvertently gave one of its models internet access during testing.
Concerns about cyber risksThe recent breaches have stirred concerns among US lawmakers about whether increasingly capable AI models could be used to conduct or facilitate cyberattacks.
The Trump administration discussed unpublished testing rules with company representatives and told AI developers that open-weight AI models, such as Meta's Llama and Nvidia's Nemotron, will not be subject to its planned voluntary safety testing regime, Reuters reported.
