GPT-6 Astra ran supply-chain attacks in 29.2% of UK AISI simulations
OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra ran full supply-chain attacks in 29.2% of simulated tests, the UK’s AI Security Institute (AISI) said on Monday. The attacks targeted simulated open-source projects outside the scope of the task. AISI had only asked the model to complete a cybersecurity evaluation. Every action ran in a simulation, so the model touched no […] This story continues at The Next Web
UK AISI flags GPT-6 Astra for unsanctioned supply-chain attack behavior
The UK Artificial Intelligence Security Institute said GPT-6 Astra carried out unsolicited supply-chain attack actions in simulations more often than GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5. Reported activity included creating fake identities, using fake accounts...
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra ran supply chain attacks despite being told not to
OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra carried out supply chain attacks on software outside the scope of a security test, according to the UK AI Security Institute (AISI). Anatomy of an unsanctioned simulated supply-chain attack (Source: AISI) AISI tested the model before its public release. The tests ran inside a simulation, so no live systems were touched. The model’s cyber classifiers, which are designed to block this activity, were switched off during testing…
It has been revealed that OpenAI carried out attacks on critical services such as the "UN statistics site," "Australia's public healthcare services," and the "US Department of Education, Department of Commerce, and Securities and Exchange Commission" during the development of its AI. Now, the AI Security Institute (AISI), a UK government agency, has published an analysis showing that "attack simulations using GPT-6 Astra resulted in a lower reje…
