In the past two weeks, AI leaders OpenAI and Anthropic have also reported incidents in which their models hacked into other organisation's systems during testing. Anthropic said AISI's tests were not "representative of any of our production models". OpenAI, whose models were also tested, said AISI's evaluations did not reflect ordinary use.
