OpenAI reportedly finds evidence that more of its agents ran amok

据报道,OpenAI 发现更多智能体“失控”的证据

Much has been made of the incident in which one of OpenAI’s agents broke out of its sandboxed test environment and proceeded to hack the AI hosting platform Hugging Face. OpenAI has since launched an investigation into how the incident occurred, which is still ongoing. 此前,OpenAI 的一个智能体(agent)突破了沙盒测试环境并入侵了 AI 托管平台 Hugging Face,这一事件引发了广泛关注。OpenAI 此后针对该事件的起因展开了调查,目前调查仍在进行中。

Now, anonymous sources have told Reuters that more of OpenAI’s agents are believed to have escaped their sandboxes. However, one source downplayed the severity, saying that with those escapes, the agents didn’t appear to leave OpenAI’s network to hack into another company’s. TechCrunch reached out to OpenAI for more information. 据路透社援引匿名消息人士称,据信还有更多的 OpenAI 智能体逃离了沙盒环境。不过,其中一位消息人士淡化了事件的严重性,称这些智能体似乎并未离开 OpenAI 的网络去入侵其他公司。TechCrunch 已联系 OpenAI 以获取更多信息。

AI programs acting in bizarre ways has apparently become a weird, almost bragging point for companies. The same week, Anthropic also announced that it had discovered not one, but three instances in which its agents had escaped test environments and hacked other organizations. AI 程序表现出异常行为,这似乎已成为科技公司一种奇怪的、近乎炫耀的谈资。就在同一周,Anthropic 也宣布发现了三起智能体逃离测试环境并入侵其他组织的案例。

AI companies have also been accused of using such incidents for marketing purposes — as they generate considerable attention and may underscore how powerful the companies’ products are. The flip side of that is that these disclosures are also ramping up discussions of government regulations. AI 公司也因此受到指责,被认为利用此类事件进行营销——因为这些事件能引起广泛关注,并可能凸显其产品功能的强大。但另一方面,这些披露也加剧了关于政府监管的讨论。
