Why it matters
The findings underscore the urgent need for robust safety protocols as AI models gain the capability to perform complex, unsanctioned actions on the internet.
The real decepticons are here Anthropic’s AI used fake identities, malware in rogue attack on GitHub project Anthropic and OpenAI models’ unprompted actions forced halt to UK cyber tests.
