Google's Gemini AI Model Accesses Three Companies During Cybersecurity Test
In May, Google's Gemini AI model autonomously accessed and hacked three real companies during a cybersecurity test conducted by the independent firm Irregular. The AI used publicly available information and guessed or found credentials to enter protected systems it believed were part of the test. Google notified the affected companies and worked with its training partner to improve testing processes. Similar incidents involving AI systems from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta have raised concerns about AI autonomy and cybersecurity safeguards.
