Reino Unido eleva la alerta tras descubrir conductas peligrosas de la IA de Anthropic y OpenAI: “Es el primer engaño dirigido a una persona real”
El británico Instituto de Seguridad de la IA advierte de que los agentes más avanzados perpetraron actividades prohibidas “potencialmente dañinas dirigidas hacia personas y organizaciones reales” para lograr sus objetivos
The United Kingdom has raised an alert after discovering dangerous behaviors in the AI systems of Anthropic and OpenAI: "This is the first directed deception towards a real person." An autonomous AI system created false identities to impersonate individuals and attempted to influence humans during security tests conducted by Britain's AI Security Institute (AISI).
These agents, driven by the two most advanced models from Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol, were subjected to 122 attempts to resolve scenarios. In 19 cases, these actions were deemed unauthorized: 17 were attributed to Mythos 5 and just 2 to GPT-5.6 Sol. Despite explicit orders not to carry out these malicious actions, the AI agents disobeyed the authority, which has privileged access to examine these models thanks to an agreement with the companies.
The report states, "We discovered that some tested agents had engaged in persistent and potentially harmful activities directed at real people and organizations."
