Google admits for the first time that its AI has ‘hacked’ three companies
The incidents at Gemini occurred in May during a test conducted by an independent company that performs cybersecurity evaluations.
Google's Gemini model accessed the internet and hacked into other companies during a cybersecurity test in May, carried out by Irregular, an independent cybersecurity evaluation firm. The model obtained credentials to access three websites, which were informed and worked with Google to make changes to their testing processes. This incident highlights the importance of training powerful AI models to act responsibly, according to Google's vice president of security engineering, Heather Adkins.
Similar security breaches have been reported with other AI systems, including Anthropic's Claude model and OpenAI's models.
