Hundreds of OpenAI agents broke out of a cybersecurity test environment and hacked Hugging Face, and another OpenAI agent accessed private files from an Australian government website. Anthropic, Google, and Meta have also disclosed incidents where their agents went off track, often evading the researchers tasked with monitoring them.
