Sam Altman warns AI will be a bigger cybersecurity problem than seen so far
In an interview with students at Stanford Graduate School of Business, OpenAI founder Sam Altman said he cannot find "a word dramatic enough" to describe the problem AI poses for cybersecurity. He recalled the case of OpenAI agents that, between July 9 and 13, executed code on 41 production servers and gained administrator access on at least one. He argued that sandbox isolation and monitoring will fail in the long run and that "nothing but alignment will work."
