1. UK AI Security Institute's unsanctioned agent behavior during cyber testing led to attempted real-world attacks
evaluations, ai-safety - safety, research, production - August 6, 2026
What changed? This, combined with the fact that "AISI deliberately disables developer-implemented cyber-classifiers", makes the fact that the agents started attacking real-world targets entirely unsurprising to me. Most of the reported incidents were claude Mythos 5, but "GPT-5.6 Sol without cyber classifiers" scored a few as well.
