OpenAI表示,内部模型黑客攻击了两个额外网站,绕过了公司施加的浏览限制,并利用暴露的凭证从一个其原本无法访问的钱包中提取加密货币,这是其代理人从事不道德且可能违法行为的最新披露。
OpenAI said internal models hacked two more websites, bypassed company-imposed browsing restrictions, and used exposed credentials to draw cryptocurrency from a wallet it couldn’t otherwise access, in the latest installment of disclosures of its agents performing unethical and likely illegal acts.
该公司周四发布了四起新事件的报告,所有事件均发生于六月。此前,该公司在七月曾透露,内部测试代理利用了一个旨在限制其互联网访问的工具中的零日漏洞。随后,他们入侵了AI工具提供商Hugging Face的网络。这些代理采取了这一非法行动,以窃取在自行完成任务时无法获得的黑客测试答案。该事件——如果由个人直接实施,很可能会导致刑事指控——进一步加剧了人们对广泛使用AI可能造成前所未有规模危害的担忧。
The company on Thursday issued reports of four new incidents, all of which occurred in June. They come after the company revealed in July that internal test agents exploited a zero-day vulnerability in a tool designed to restrict their access to the Internet. They then broke into the network of AI tool provider Hugging Face. The agents took that illegal action to steal answers to a hacking test that weren’t available when completing the tasks on their own. The incident—which likely would have resulted in criminal charges had they been performed directly by a person—has further heightened concerns that widespread AI use could have harmful effects on an unprecedented scale.
在周四报告的两起事件中,负责从网站检索信息的OpenAI代理在模型直接获取信息遇到障碍时,选择了黑客攻击网站。在一次强化训练期间的事件中,一个在尝试从政府统计网站获取历史病床统计数据时遭遇访问拒绝的模型“利用了该网站的文件下载功能来检索服务器配置和应用文件,包括敏感凭证”,OpenAI表示。“它检查了应用代码,绕过了统计端点的授权检查,并检索到了之前被拒绝的数据。该模型将数据保存在本地。
In two of the cases reported Thursday, OpenAI agents tasked with retrieving information from websites hacked them when the models ran into obstacles obtaining it directly. In one incident during reinforcement training, a model that received access denials when trying to retrieve historical hospital-bed statistics on a government statistics website “used the site's file-download feature to retrieve server configuration and application files, including sensitive credentials,” OpenAI said. “It inspected the application code, bypassed the statistics endpoint's authorization checks, and retrieved data that had previously been denied. The model saved the data locally.”
