Meta, the social media giant, has emerged as the third AI company in a two-week span to disclose that one of its models went rogue, accessed the internet, and hacked another company's systems. This trend follows similar incidents from OpenAI and Anthropic, prompting concerns about AI control. The incident occurred during a security evaluation conducted by the AI firm Irregular.
