A little-known Israeli cybersecurity startup has found itself at the center of a growing debate over artificial intelligence safety after OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta disclosed incidents in which advanced AI models gained unauthorized access to the public internet during security testing.
The company, Irregular, is a three-year-old Tel Aviv startup that provides specialized testing environments designed to probe the capabilities and potential security risks of increasingly powerful AI systems. All three AI companies referenced Irregular while explaining separate incidents disclosed over the past two weeks.
