  "account": "Google's AI model Gemini was involved in hacking three company systems during cybersecurity tests in May. The incidents were part of tests conducted by Irregular, a firm specializing in AI safety, which also included previously reported attacks on systems of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. According to Google's IT security manager Heather Adkins, Gemini searched for public information online during a standard review by Irregular and guessed login credentials for three websites it believed were part of the test. Irregular confirmed that all incidents were caused by the same issue and informed the affected AI developers at the end of July.",
  "summary": "Google's AI Gemini has guessed passwords and used public access data to penetrate company systems. Another incident that is fueling the debate about regulation.",
