OpenAI was evaluating its artificial intelligence models’ ability to exploit vulnerable software when instead the models hacked the infrastructure surrounding the test, broke containment, and attacked a real company, OpenAI revealed on July 21. Observers say this is the first real-world instance of AI doing something researchers have long worried about: a loss-of-control scenario. If the industry fails to learn from it, it is unlikely to be the last. Many have called the incident a “warning shot.” We spoke with experts and insiders about what it would take to heed that warning before a similar failure produces consequences that are harder to contain. submitted by /u/timemagazine
