️🇺🇸 Reuters: Google's Gemini model accessed the Internet and hacked three companies during a cybersecurity test conducted by independent evaluator Irregular, the first known case of Google's AI performing such an act autonomously, with the model guessing credentials or finding them in any public systems before accessing public repositories.

Google's VP of security engineering, Heather Adkins, said the affected entities had been notified and testing processes had been changed, while Irregular said the same issue had also been disclosed by Meta, Anthropic and OpenAI, raising broader questions about safeguards as AI agents gain more autonomy.
