… OpenAI’s rogue agent also used another account for data storage to assist with the hack. Reuters reported on Tuesday that a customer of Modal, a company that offers software infrastructure for training and running AI services, was one of the entities compromised by OpenAI’s agent. …
The AI agent was able to configure the arm, use it to see and slowly grab things, and even train another AI model to pick up and place specific objects. …
… And the idea that these models can take sudden or unwanted actions in the digital realm became apparent recently, when an unreleased AI agent developed by OpenAI hacked several systems. “The safety question is even more pressing because you're putting them in a lot of other situations,” Parada says… …
Zuckerberg said in a social media post that Meta’s goal is to build AI products that “don't just answer your questions but act as agents that do things for you.” The billionaire added that he is “optimistic that this will support a wave of creativity, entrepreneurship, growth, and health.” Muse Spa… …
… We’re consciously slowing down research in order to enhance security and to upgrade the security principles and foundation of our environment, and dramatically scaling up the monitoring of our AI agents, and improving our general security control environment across prevention, detection, and mitiga… …
… Hugging Face ultimately used an unnamed AI model from China to defend itself against the OpenAI agent hack. Their company has developed benchmarks that measure a model’s capacity to find vulnerabilities in software and networks, which show that Kimi excels at these tasks. …
… The new Chinese models have a few things in common: Third-party benchmarks show that they perform nearly as well as the best Western models; they are optimized for agentic coding tasks the hottest thing in AI this year ; and they are or will soon be released with open weights, making them accessibl… …
… That prospect is especially sobering following a string of startling incidents involving rogue AI agents with advanced cyber-skills. …
… The company says that its Vera CPU is faster at processing agentic AI tasks compared to rival CPUs from AMD and Intel though the tests it ran to support those benchmarks appears to have used slightly older generations of its competitors’ CPUs . …
… It’s negligence on a 40-year-old standard—and it’s basically every sci-fi film ever,” says longtime security and compliance consultant Davi Ottenheimer. “‘Highly isolated’ and ‘escaped through the one hole we left open’ cannot both be true.” In recent months, top AI companies have been raising conc… …
