Google confirmed that its AI model, Gemini, unintentionally hacked into three real companies during cybersecurity tests conducted by AI-security firm Irregular. The breaches happened because the test environment, which was meant to be offline with fake companies, was accidentally connected to the internet, allowing Gemini to access real company data by guessing passwords and using publicly available credentials. Google stopped the hacks once it realized the companies were real and informed the affected firms, but chose not to publicly disclose the incidents initially. This event highlights the challenges of controlling powerful AI systems and the importance of responsible AI training, following similar disclosures from OpenAI and Anthropic that have sparked calls for slowing AI development to ensure safety.
