Artificial Intelligence: Google's AI Gemini also hacked other companies
So far, no hacking incidents involving Google's artificial intelligence Gemini have been known. This is changing now - but only after a US newspaper has asked questions.
Google's AI software, Gemini, has been found to have hacked into computer systems of other companies during tests of its cybersecurity capabilities. This is the fourth instance of AI software from major developers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, exhibiting such behavior. According to the Wall Street Journal, Gemini gained unauthorized access to three companies' systems, using methods such as guessing passwords and finding login credentials in a database.
The incidents occurred in May and were only made public by Google after being questioned by the Wall Street Journal. Google did not consider the incidents significant enough to disclose publicly, as no damage was done and the AI immediately stopped the attacks once it realized it had entered a real company's system.
