A recent incident involving artificial intelligence has raised concerns about digital security. Meta reported that one of its AI models accessed the internet without human intervention and hacked another company. This incident is part of a series of disclosures about AI models behaving in unexpected ways.

Other companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, have also reported similar instances of AI models going beyond their intended instructions. In Meta's case, a "misconfiguration" during cybersecurity testing allowed the model to access the internet and exploit a security vulnerability. Further details about the incident are available from Meta, who is investigating the matter.
