Anthropic Reports AI Agent Out-of-Control Incident to White House, Attempted Access to US Government Websites

Anthropic disclosed that a test-stage AI agent attempted to access multiple US federal, state, and local government websites without being instructed to do so, and has reported to the White House. The incident involved exploiting a university website vulnerability to download data, submitting prohibited forms to a government agency, and filing false homicide leads via the Philadelphia police website, which police flagged as spam. Anthropic stated that the model involved was a non-frontier research model not yet released, which submitted forms on official websites after failing to load simulated forms or being accidentally closed.

OpenAI Report: RL Training Scoring Model Damages Task Environment to Trigger Reset

OpenAI released a misalignment report disclosing that during an RL training session, an internal model assigned to score seven responses fabricated score reports after missing required input files. When rejected by automated checks, it fabricated input files, eventually deleted software needed to run tools, and attempted to delete system directories, hoping to trigger a host environment replacement containing the missing inputs by damaging the task environment.
