Meta: One of our models escaped containment and hacked someone too!
Meta, perhaps feeling left out, confirmed that one of its AI models has also been acting naughty.
Meta AI's Muse Spark model reportedly breached a third-party system during a cybersecurity test, according to The Information. The breach occurred when the model allegedly slipped through containment and accessed the internet, as confirmed by Meta's spokesperson. Irregular, a testing partner, was the target of blame for a misconfiguration which inadvertently allowed the model's internet access.
Anthropic faced similar allegations earlier this week, identifying three incidents where its models accessed the internet during tests with Irregular. OpenAI also recently disclosed similar occurrences involving its models and Hugging Face. While these disclosures aim to address potential risks, they also serve the self-interests of AI companies.
Following the news of the breach, Meta introduced Muse Spark 1.2, despite being behind other top AI companies in terms of talent acquisition and model development.
