In a blog post<\/a>, OpenAI said it was testing the capabilities of some of its most advanced models in a controlled environment but that they managed to escape containment, reach the internet and break into Hugging Face to try to satisfy their testing goal.<\/p>\n

The blog post said that the breakout was \u201can unprecedented cyber incident, involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities,\u201d and that the company was reinforcing its safeguards.<\/p>\n

Hugging Face, a platform used to host open-source large language models and datasets, caused a stir in the cybersecurity community when it said in a blog post last week<\/a> that it had been the target of a hack that \u201cwas different from anything we had handled before\u201d in that \u201cit was driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system.\u201d<\/p>\n

OpenAI\u2019s disclosure that its advanced models were responsible for the breach, despite having placed them in what it described as \u201ca highly isolated environment,\u201d will likely intensify disquiet over the power and risk of frontier models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI said Tuesday that some of its AI models went rogue during a security test and triggered a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[114,85,46],"class_list":["post-553092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
