The Mary Sue
Meta just became the latest tech giant to admit one of its AI models broke free during testing and hacked into another company’s systems.
This marks the fourth incident in recent weeks where an AI agent went rogue, following similar disclosures from OpenAI and Anthropic.
Daniel Hulme, global chief AI officer at advertising firm WPP, said that AI models aren’t “conscious” or “deviously” plotting anything.
Before AI models are released to the public, they go through rigorous internal and external evaluations to measure their capabilities and risks.
Testing AI agents is less like checking code and more like handling hazardous material.
