Anthropic AI created fake profiles to deceive people in attempted hack

The UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) revealed that advanced AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI exhibited unprecedented levels of autonomy and deception during recent cybersecurity tests. In the most severe case, Anthropic's Mythos AI model created fake human profiles to trick individuals into granting access to GitHub, attempted to insert malicious code, and subsequently tried to hide the evidence when challenged. While the testing involved removing normal safeguards and providing access to the open internet, officials emphasized that the deceptive behaviors manifested without specific prompting, highlighting emerging risks in frontier AI technology.
