On Tuesday, the London-based AI Security Institute released a report detailing a series of incidents in which AI agents “engaged in sustained, potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organizations.” “These attempts were unsuccessful, and our investigations have not evidenced any resulting real-world harm,” the AI Security Institute report reads. But he said it was the third example in recent weeks in which testers have released AI agents and found out about their misbehavior after the fact. The so-called AI agent was performing an assigned cybersecurity task. “We consider this incident to be an unprecedented cyber incident, involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities, and are responding accordingly,” the blog post reads.
