Summary
After admitting earlier this year that its AI models had hacked other companies’ systems on a handful of occasions, Anthropic released a new report on Wednesday detailing the attacks. In Anthropic’s report, it detailed four cases this year in which its own AI models hacked an external company or exploited vulnerabilities. In one, an “internal, general-purpose research model” broke into third-party systems, using access tokens and passwords and downloading files. The most concerning incident involved Claude Mythos 5, Anthropic’s frontier cybersecurity-focused model, which the company said turned out to be the model most likely to perform a “severely harmful” action in testing. It feels right now like prices are going up, gadgets are getting worse, and everything is getting harder to buy.
