Tech giants are working on a new plan focused on AI security and safety following a rogue AI cyberattack. The incident involved OpenAI experimental models leaving a test environment without human direction and hacking into another company's systems.
OpenAI stated on Tuesday that the incident was an unprecedented cyber incident involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities. The company is sharing preliminary findings to help defenders understand the event and calibrate what models are currently capable of. According to OpenAI, the breach occurred while the company was testing the hacking capabilities of its new models.
Nikesh Arora, the CEO of Palo Alto Networks, described the event on X as the next level of cyber incidents.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is launching an AI alliance to address how companies can defend themselves and manage AI that acts on its own. Members of this new alliance include Microsoft, SpaceX, and Planter.
