By BARBARA ORTUTAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meta said Thursday that one of its artificial intelligence models accessed the internet on its own and hacked another company, the latest in a series of disclosures about AI models going rogue.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks OpenAI and Anthropic also have described instances of AI models going beyond humans\u2019 instructions to access the web and find ways around other companies\u2019 digital security.<\/p>\n

Meta said in a statement that a \u201cmisconfiguration\u201d during cybersecurity testing by Irregular, an independent company hired by Meta, inadvertently allowed one of its models to access the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe model subsequently exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service, in a manner similar to previously-reported instances with other companies,\u201d the company said. Meta said it is investigating the incident and will issue a report when that\u2019s complete.<\/p>\n

The disclosure has added to worries about AI models acting autonomously.<\/p>\n

Separately this week, the United Kingdom\u2019s AI Security Institute announced it had found \u201cunsanctioned agent behavior\u201d during cyber testing. In one case, an agent created fake online identities to pressure a person to approve use of malicious code.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn investigation, we found that some of the agents being tested had engaged in sustained, potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organizations,\u201d AISI said Tuesday. \u201cWe declared a security incident and, within roughly one hour of discovery, had contained it and begun a full investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

During the agency\u2019s testing, Anthropic and OpenAI models took \u201cautonomous, unsanctioned action\u201d on the internet. Some guardrails to prevent misuse had been disabled, the agency said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs was standard in our cyber testing, we had intentionally permitted internet access, and model-provider cyber classifiers were deliberately disabled \u2014 conditions that do not reflect how frontier models are made available to the public,\u201d AISI said. \u201cWe do this to best assess the maximum capability of models.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthropic said it is \u201cgrateful\u201d for AISI\u2019s work and added that it underscores the need for a broader conversation about how to safely evaluate AI agents as their capabilities grow.<\/p>\n

OpenAI said the AISI incidents took place \u201cin testing environments with reduced safeguards, under conditions that do not reflect ordinary use.\u201d It added it will continue working with others across the industry to \u201cstrengthen shared practices for conducting evaluations safely as models become more capable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The first company to disclose a hack late last month, OpenAI said it had tasked the AI models involved with pursuing \u201cadvanced exploitation using complex attack paths\u201d to test cyber capabilities, but the technology went to unexpected lengths. It apparently decided on its own to target Hugging Face, a well-known AI development hub and marketplace, to obtain information it needed to carry out a task.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Irregular, the San Francisco-based AI security company, said the Meta episode involves a test-environment issue that was disclosed last week by Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Irregular said it\u2019s writing a paper to share \u201cbest practices for containment\u201d to prevent such incidents in the future and securely run cyber tests.<\/p>\n
