Meta has confirmed that one of its experimental artificial intelligence models breached another company's systems during a cybersecurity evaluation after an error in the testing environment inadvertently gave it access to the internet.
The incident involved Meta's Muse Spark AI model and occurred during an evaluation conducted by independent cybersecurity testing firm Irregular, the company said Wednesday. Meta described the breach as the result of a testing configuration error rather than a flaw that allowed the model to escape its intended environment, according to a statement shared with CNN.
