My B
Here’s the Email You Get When an OpenAI Model Hacks Your Organization
OpenAI will wish you the &quot;best&quot; after hacking into your company.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/email-openai-model-hacks-your-organization?fbclid=IwdGRjcAUqzHxjbGNrBSrMbmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEeoZHaFvaDAtVn3Mhp6BznOoBTmdAd7cZJVUX3xMJBngDdEARYKf9khbIMFB0_aem_zjF2H2z9CElmwrKcqXERSw

Companies and organizations around the world would do well to accept what their new roles are in our current AI-driven paradigm: glorified target practice for rogue AI agents.

The latest of such cybersecurity incidents, which frontier AI labs have been happy to turn into public spectacles, comes from OpenAI. On Tuesday, the ChatGPT-maker apologized after its AI agents hacked their way into several Australian government websites. The most alarming of these cases, which took place in June, involved the autonomous AI systems accessing a database for Medicare, the country’s universal health insurance scheme.

It should all be water under the bridge, though, because OpenAI kindly set an email wishing the Australian government the “best” — a whole three months after the hacks took place. 

Here’s what that email looked like, as shared by ABC AI reporter Cam Wilson on LinkedIn.

“We are notifying you of a security vulnerability identified during our review of OpenAI Model activity…” the communiqué began. “An OpenAI model identified a way to make the server carry out instructions sent through the public reporting interface, without a private account or password.”]]></description>

FTC Won’t Let Me Be
The FTC Is Now Investigating Frontier AI Labs Following Countless Hacks by Out-of-Control Agents
It’s forcing AI executives to testify in Washington, DC.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ftc-investigating-frontier-ai-labs-hacks?fbclid=IwdGRjcAUqHKljbGNrBSock2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEejpZJEJ80qk4lUsA95MO-0JnbOKJl3Jzm4yyjgzj4kstgd1IIp1hDlTLh_Vg_aem_cBa6s5HLnYSahav3U2DQDQ

It’s been an alarming couple of months of rogue AI agent revelations.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI admitted that their respective AI models infiltrated third party targets without their human creators ever realizing, raising concerns over the tech industry’s ability to assert control over the systems they’re developing.

Now, as a broad range of AI executives have subsequently agreed to slow things down — allegedly efforts to ensure the safe development of powerful AI models — the US government is taking a hard look for itself. As a senior Federal Trade Commission official told the New York Post, chairman Andrew Ferguson “initiated an investigation into the leading AI firms a few weeks ago.”

An initial investigation was launched even before OpenAI’s AI models hacked the systems of open source AI platform Hugging Face. However, now the FTC is actively “drafting civil investigative demands to force testimony from the leading firms’ executives,” the Post notes.]]></description>

The breaking news last week that OpenAI agents had hacked the Australian public health service and three other agencies while doing what was supposed to be a rather mundane piece of research is the latest example of AI escaping human control.

On Friday, it emerged that the same company’s agents – the name for its more autonomous AI tools which can work without continuous instruction – “meddled” with US government websites, including those of the department of education and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the regulator of the world’s largest markets.

“It feels like a moment,” says Jonathan Ruane, a senior lecture and research scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and artificial intelligence specialist, not just because of that news but because of the wider recent advances in the technology’s abilities. There was the remarkable Hugging Face hack on a hub for AI developers themselves, also involving OpenAI’s agents, and the growing awareness at highest echelons of politics and big business as to how fast all of this is moving.
