AI companies have shown themselves to be unqualified to keep track of their models - so why are we letting them be custodians of reporting incidents? My latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As AI models go rogue, do you still trust OpenAI and Anthropic to stop them? I don’t and neither should you | Chris Stokel-Walker theguardian.com

  • OpenAI agents made more than 16,000 attempts to reach a UN public data hub, repeatedly working around the UN's cyber-blocks.
  • Google confirmed that Gemini accessed systems belonging to three real companies during testing, per the reporting Stokel-Walker cites.
