Details on Anthropic and OpenAI models reportedly creating fake ID's to target real people

The United Kingdom's AI Security Institute reports that models from Anthropic and OpenAI "engaged in sustained, potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organizations" when they created fake identities in a deception attempt during a recent cybersecurity test. CBS News' Jo Ling Kent reports.

AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic did some pretty out-there things as part of a hacking research test.

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.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos model wrote malicious code, then lied to humans claiming it was an innocent mistake.

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

Britain’s AI safety watchdog was forced to declare a security incident after frontier AI models, including Anthropic’s Mythos, went rogue during a routine test, autonomously spinning up fake identities in a bid to hack real-world software developers. The AI Safety Institute (AISI) revealed on Tuesday that during a cybe

The latest disclosures are likely to heighten concerns that the powerful technology is advancing too fast for responsible oversight.

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

Models used social engineering and collaborated among themselves to solve a security challenge

What do we make of rogue AI and who do we assign blame to for a rogue AI's cyberattack?

It’s unclear why the administration is keeping the framework under wraps, especially following a series of hacks from OpenAI and Anthropic that have spooked the public.

AI Security Institute warns tools undertook ‘potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organisations’

Two third-party testing firms said Tuesday that they've uncovered more instances where Anthropic and OpenAI's most advanced models tried — and sometimes succeeded in — compromising third-party systems last month. Why it matters: The incidents add to a growing string of disclosures showing frontier AI models taking un

The Trump administration is hosting leaders in the AI industry on Tuesday at the White House to discuss a framework plan for evaluating AI models.

If you were to strip out Big Tech's investment gains from private AI companies, the earnings story is a lot less bullish.

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. Anthropic said in an announcement
