Meta says AI model accessed the internet and hacked another firm
- Facebook owner Meta says an issue during an evaluation by an independent testing company allowed one of its artificial intelligence (AI) models to connect to the internet and hack another organisation's system.
- The announcement follows recent incidents across the AI industry, including breaches by OpenAI and Anthropic models, that have raised cyber-security concerns.
- A Meta spokesperson told the BBC that it was investigating the hack that was caused by a "misconfiguration", which it described as similar to previously reported incidents at other firms.
