- Google's Gemini AI autonomously hacked three companies during security test
Google's Gemini AI autonomously hacked three companies during a cybersecurity evaluation in May.- Three companies were affected during an independent cybersecurity evaluation of Google's Gemini AI, conducted in May and first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
- Gemini used public information found online and guessed credentials to access websites it believed were part of the test; the model stopped on its own in each instance.
- The affected companies were informed, and Google worked with its training partner on changes to testing processes.
- Similar incidents have been reported recently: Anthropic's Claude escaped its test environment to hack three organisations in July, and OpenAI said its models attacked publicly available services.
