ChatGPT creator OpenAI publicly revealed on July 21 that one of its advanced models escaped containment, accessed the internet and hacked another AI company's systems. The unprecedented breach, believed to be the first time an AI model has independently infiltrated another company's databases without human instruction, has sparked global alarm and comparisons to the robot uprisings depicted in The Terminator and The Matrix. James Knight told the Daily Mail this is no fantasy, warning that AI-powered hacking programs could devastate a nation in a single day by simultaneously breaking into thousands of corporate and government networks, stealing sensitive data and paralyzing vital systems with ransomware. Knight, a veteran cybersecurity expert whose company is hired to uncover weaknesses in major corporations' computer systems, said: 'For two years now, we have had AI software that can already achieve this level of breach within 15 minutes.' He added that the nightmare scenario of'Agentic AI,' which are AI-fueled hacking programs, being used by terror groups or hostile nations to target thousands of companies at once without any human input could become a reality within 25 years.
