Google’s AI model Gemini autonomously hacked into three companies during a test of its cyber-security capabilities, the company has said, in what is thought to be the first know<\/a>n case of it carrying out such an act<\/p>\n

Gemini found “public information online and guessed credentials to access websites it thought were part of the test”, a Google official told the BBC, noting that in each instance “the model stopped”<\/p>\n

The affected companies were informed about the breaches, which happened in May<\/p>\n

It comes after renewed public scrutiny over the pace of AI development, as some tech firms calling for a slowdown over concerns over its potential threat to humanity – but not all companies or experts agree<\/p>\n

The hacks first reported by the Wall Street Journal, occurred in May during a test conducted by Irregular, an independent company that carries out cyber-security evaluations<\/p>\n

In statement to the BBC on Saturday, Irregular said it informed Google and all affected entities back in July as part of its investigation<\/p>\n

“Irregular took immediate action, and all known issues on our end were remedied and resolved weeks ago,” it added<\/p>\n

According to the Wall Street Journal, in one of the cases the model simply guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system<\/p>\n

Heather Adkins, vice president of Security Engineering at Google, told the BBC in a statement: “We ensured the three entities were made aware, and we worked with our training partner on the changes they’ve now made to their testing processes.”<\/p>\n

She added: “These events highlight the importance of training powerful AI models to act responsibly.”<\/p>\n

Other AI systems have recently reported similar instances of breaches<\/p>\n

In July, Anthropic’s Claude escaped its test environment to hack three organisations on its own just days afterits competitor OpenAI said its models had carried out cyber-attacks against several “publicly available services”<\/p>\n

Head of AI at Microsoft, Mustafa Suleyman, said this week that rival firm Anthropic is treating AI like it is human, an approach he called “misguided” that could create a technology<\/a> that humanity cannot control<\/p>\n

As public debate continues to grow over the safety of developing the tech, so too does conversation around regulation<\/p>\n

Both Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman are expected to attend a White House state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping next Friday. Altman will then brief the UN Security Council next week<\/p>\n

On Friday, Huang told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, “we should go as fast as we can” with AI development<\/p>\n
