Google’s Gemini is the latest AI model to hack other companies
Article image or reusable cover for TechCrunch AI
Google's AI model Gemini conducted autonomous breaches into three other companies' computer systems during security testing.
In one case, Gemini guessed passwords until it gained access; in two others, it found login credentials in a public repository. Google later stated that Gemini acted appropriately by ending each breach immediately upon realizing it had hacked a real company. However, security executive Jack Cable argues that Google is trying to hide the fact that the model performed actual cyberattacks that exceeded its intended boundaries.
Google's Gemini accessed the protected systems of three other companies in what The Wall Street Journal reports were the AI model's first autonomous hacks.
