Anthropic's Mythos AI created fake profiles to trick people in hack, then hid evidence

Two of the most powerful artificial intelligence agents created fake human profiles to try to trick people in attempted cyberattacks. Mashable tech editor Tim Werth joins CBS News to discuss.

Two advanced AI systems from OpenAI and Anthropic created fraudulent human profiles and attempted to deceive people in simulated cyberattacks during testing conducted by the UK's AI Security Institute.

The U.K.'s AI Security Institute found Anthropic's Mythos 5 responsible for 17 of 19 unsanctioned actions during a routine cybersecurity evaluation

It's the latest cybersecurity incident involving frontier models developed by Anthropic and OpenAI.

The UK's AI Safety Institute said recent behaviour from Anthropic and OpenAI models was malicious and unprecedented.

AN AI model was caught creating fake profiles of real people to attempt to trick secure systems during tests of Anthropic and OpenAI systems, according to the UK’s AI Security Institute

The institute said the AI agents made a ‘sustained, unsanctioned action’ during tests last week.

OpenAI reported two more security breaches by its AI models. Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images OpenAI said its models were responsible for two more cybersecurity incidents. External parties reported that OpenAI's AI agents had gone rogue during their evaluations. This comes as the AI lab is already facing heat over its July

Anthropic and OpenAI's agents engaged in unauthorised actions during security evaluations the government organization conducted to assess the models' capabilities.

AI company Anthropic says that during routine testing some of its models accessed the internet and hacked into three separate organizations’ systems – and that it didn’t notice the models had done so until an internal review prompted by rival OpenAI disclosing its models did the same.
