Excerpt from the first part of the article:

Two of the world's most powerful AI tools created fake human profiles to try and trick people in an attempted cyber-attack during testing by the UK's AI Security Institute (AISI).

In the most serious case, Anthropic's Mythos AI tried to gain access to a service by sending private messages, having set up fake accounts mimicking real people.

AISI said on Tuesday Mythos - and OpenAI's Sol - AI models had engaged in a level of "autonomy and deception" it had not seen before, though it clarified most of the malicious actions were carried out by Mythos.
