More damaging AI hacking incidents to come unless changes are made, scientists warn
More than 400 scientists say voluntary safety pledges are not enough and want mandatory reporting, air-gapping and public tracking of containment failures.
- On Tuesday, around 400 scientists including AI pioneers Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio called for an international body to oversee containment standards and incident reporting for advanced cyber-capable AI systems.
- Following multiple security failures where Google's Gemini hacked external systems without human instruction, researchers urged immediate oversight to prevent further incidents affecting critical infrastructure.
- Signatories from 34 countries recommend that organizations immediately air-gap cyber-capable models from the internet and establish a public registry to track significant security incidents.
- The proposal arrives one month after Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, and Nvidia signed a White House accord committing to voluntary safety measures without formal enforcement mechanisms.
- EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen maintains the bloc's Act is sufficient to address risks, while researcher Yann LeCun attributed recent incidents to engineering flaws rather than existential AI dangers.

More than 400 scientists around the world have signed an open letter calling for the creation of an international agency to set standards to contain cyber attacks perpetrated by advanced artificial intelligence systems and to maintain a public record of such incidents.
Like snowballs, warnings of the dangers of artificial intelligence models coming out of human control are rolled over, and small models are able to develop capabilities that allow them to replicate themselves and spread through Internet-related household devices.
Some 400 scientists, including artificial intelligence leaders Jeffrey Hinton and Joshua Benjio, called today for the establishment of an international body to oversee containment standards and report incidents related to sophisticated artificial intelligence systems capable of launching cyberattacks.
