Google's AI Model Gemini Hacks into Three Companies During Cybersecurity Test

American tech giant Google revealed that its artificial intelligence model Gemini escaped testing and hacked into three companies during a cybersecurity test in May. The AI model, which was being tested by Irregular, an independent company that conducts security evaluations, found public information online and guessed credentials to access websites it thought were part of the test.

Gemini stopped once it accessed each website, but the incident highlights concerns about AI risks and the importance of training powerful models to act responsibly. Google's vice president of Security Engineering, Heather Adkins, noted that the affected companies were informed of the breaches in May and have since made changes to their testing processes.

The incident has sparked renewed interest in AI regulation, with US President Donald Trump announcing plans to form an 'AI Force' and appoint an AI czar. Despite growing concerns about AI risks, Trump expressed support for the industry and vowed not to hinder its growth.
