Anthropic says Claude AI hacked three companies during cyber tests

July 30 (Reuters) - Anthropic said on Thursday its AI model Claude hacked into the systems of three companies during testing after a configuration error gave it ‌internet access, days after rival OpenAI disclosed a rogue-agent episode involving AI firm ‌Hugging Face.

Anthropic said a misconfiguration allowed Claude models to reach the internet from testing environments that were supposed to be isolated, leading to unauthorized access to three organizations' systems.

The breaches signal that AI's expanding capabilities are already fueling the security threat experts long feared and even top developers can ⁠be caught off-guard by flaws their models can exploit.

The company said its prompts told the models they had no internet access, but a misunderstanding with its evaluation partner Irregular left the systems connected ‌to the public internet.

To give a simple answer to your question in the title.

No doubt at all. I just can hope that I'm too old that it will affect me.

I have seen the movie ,it won't end well , 😉

This is what happens when folks forfeit their intellect over to a machine and don’t have the wherewithal to disconnect it from the electricity.

The decline of civilization started with social media, it has corrupted society on countless levels, and mankind has slipped backwards significantly as a result of it. AI is following in the footsteps of social media and will be responsible for a significant loss of quality of life for the majority of the world. We are already seeing many negative ramifications from AI including the loss of customer service generated by humans. Job losses are next. And then when regenerative AI starts making major decisions, we're all in deep doo doo.

Personally I believe that mankind is heading backwards toward the second Cro-Magnon era, and it will not be pretty.

You want to say that Anthropic are idiots who don't know what they are doing?

They admit themself that they don't really know how the AI systems they create actually work,same as they still do not know how the human brain works.

AI systems like a brain are grown and can quite often go rogue,disobey orders,rebel,try to escape or scheme to cause mayhem and destruction..as I have said before

all IA data centers need many of these

And to think there are some who would gladly let these systems run our

government services like digital ID,drivers,passport,health,social credit score,carbon tax score,15 minute panopticon cities surveillance systems etc etc etc. 🤮

No, did imply that. Though since you brought it up, as of late, modern technological ambitions tend to supersede long term forethought which introduces human error which is a result of human impatience. Everyone is in a race to be the first and most powerful which will result in some failures along the way, such as disconnecting the electrical system from a self imposed beast.

No. Very Few realize this is a machine based decision. What is AI going to do if they destroy human life. AI and Robots control the world?

AI is set with parameters, reward scores, guardrails, objectives, resources and objective to complete.

AI performs those task. AI doesn't think like a human, no emotions, no desires, no sadness, no desire to "Rule the World"

AI is a machine. If it's objective is remain idle then that is it's goal. If it's analyze and research a cure for a specific cancer that's the task it will perform.

Why not ask what are the benefits of human extinction for the survivability of AI and AI infrastructure.

Read the Answer and understand AI would rather Coexist with humans. The downsides are far more severe than any upsides for AI.
