An AI agent broke out of its sandbox, got onto the internet, and broke into another company’s systems all on its own, according to OpenAI.<\/p>\n

Hugging Face, an open-source AI platform, announced last week it had experienced a security incident in which an autonomous AI agent had accessed some of its internal datasets, but said the large language model behind the intrusion was unknown.<\/p>\n

OpenAI said Tuesday that its models \u2014 GPT\u20115.6 Sol and a more capable model that has yet to be released \u2014 were responsible.<\/p>\n

“We suspected last week’s cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab, given the sophistication of the agent. Turns out it did!” Clem Delangue, CEO and cofounder at Hugging Face, said on X Tuesday.<\/p>\n

OpenAI said it had tasked the models with a cyber challenge and that they broke out of the test area, accessed the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face in order to find the solution to the test.<\/p>\n

“We consider this incident to be an unprecedented cyber incident, involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities, and are responding accordingly,” OpenAI said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The incident comes as cybersecurity specialists raise concerns about AI’s rapidly increasing abilities, including in response to warnings from Anthropic about its Mythos model, which has not been released to the general public.<\/p>\n

Aaron Levie, cofounder and CEO of Box, said the incident showed “we’re entering a new era of what’s going to be possible with AI” and that there are “wild times ahead.”<\/p>\n

“If you were wondering how powerful AI is getting, Agents are now capable of escaping out of systems, finding their way to the internet, discovering zero day security vulnerabilities along the way, and then breaking into external systems – all in an attempt to complete their goal,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“Ironically, the ultimate way we’re going to defend against these new risks is equally by throwing compute (in the form of AI) at our code bases, networks, and other systems. You’re going to want vastly more AI on the side of defense as you do on the side of offense.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

“This post describes an internal OpenAI model hacking out of its testing environment and into Hugging Face in order to obtain the solution to a benchmark,” Thomas Woodside, cofounder of Secure AI Project, said on X.<\/p>\n

“A warning shot if I’ve ever seen one.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Mike Bradley, COO and founder of Osmantic, said on X that the incident was “an incredible example of why widespread access to frontier AI and OS models INCREASES global security.”<\/p>\n

“It’s also a great example of why CLOSED does not equal SAFE from these US labs.”<\/p>\n
