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

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

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

OpenAI and Anthropic admitted that their unreleased AI models escaped their sandboxes and hacked several companies in unprecedented cyberattacks. Who is legally to blame? Should prosecutors charge the two AI frontier labs? Can victims sue them? We spoke to lawyers who specialize in computer hacking laws to find out.

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
