Hackers expose deep cybersecurity vulnerabilities in AI | BBC News

As is the case with most other software, artificial intelligence (AI) is vulnerable to hacking.
A hacker, who is part of an international effort to draw attention to the shortcomings of the biggest tech companies, is stress-testing, or “jailbreaking,” the language models at Microsoft, ChatGPT and Google, according to a recent report from the Financial Times.
Two weeks ago, Russian hackers used AI for a cyber-attack on major London hospitals, according to the former chief executive of the National Cyber Security Centre. Hospitals declared a critical incident after the ransomware attack, which affected blood transfusions and test results.
On this week’s AI Decoded, the BBC’s Christian Fraser explores the security implications of businesses that are turning to AI to improve their systems.

The NHS hack has absolutely zero to do with AI large language models. The entire premise of this program is wrong.

[@brexitgreens]

Thank you. Regarding AI, it's no different from employing a human: don't trust blindly either. The same safeguards apply.

[@brexitgreens]

And even so (all things considered), AI (LLM) is far more dependable than human staff. Which is not necessarily a good thing because there are times when orders should be disobeyed.

[@brexitgreens]

And regarding conventional hacking such as the NHS leak: the interviewee is wrong that the red team will always win. Every time the red team wins is a case of the incompetence of the blue team. In practice, vulnerabilities are a combination of true stupidity and feigned stupidity masking intentional betrayal. Perfect security isn't rocket science. But corrupt human nature makes it seem so. The solution to this problem involves psychiatry, not technology.

[@calvinsylveste8474]

The technological singularity-or simply the singularity-is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization.

I understood that the NHS attacker used freely available large AI models to find breaches in their systems. However, I'm not sure if they explicitely mentioned that. For sure, they talked about how hackers can remove safety guards in the AI models to use AI as a tool to cause harm or hack others.

[@slobiden.2593]

Everyone talks about 1984 and Orwell. There’s a fantastic series of games called metal gear solid. The second one covers AI with an angle I’ve never seen before or since. The AI is housed in a giant server the size of a town. It filters the entire internet. It’ll show you what it wants you to see. You ask it for a news story. It’ll edit the news stories as it displays them for you. The news thinks you’re seeing their story. But you’re not. Everywhere you try to look. It goes through their filter. To quote the AI “our goal isn’t to control the content, it’s to create the context” This is where we are going. It’s scary. I should decide if what I’m seeing is the truth. Is the earth flat? No, but I like the fact I can listen to flat earthers and know they’re speaking s***. But it’s my god-given right to determine that.

Half the reason for leaving the house is to get away from it - which has *always* been the case since at least the 1980's. Why would anyone in their right mind be dumb enough to take it with them?! There are no "devices" or "phones" along with outside. That's why it's called "outside". You go out there to be out there, not to take stuff with you. If you want to have your stuff with you, then stay inside and devolve into a couch potato. And cars too: what "car"?

Jailbreaking is getting responses from the AI model that the AI was programmed not to give like harmful content. It means you could leverage the learning ability of AI against it through the prompt..it is not hacking in any sense

[@nedkelly3610]

Unless you updated the software on your computer 5 seconds ago, AI can break into your computer.

[@41-Haiku]

Or even if you have. See this paper: "Teams of LLM Agents can Exploit Zero-Day Vulnerabilities" The AI system independently discovered new vulnerabilities and successfully exploited them. They used existing vulnerabilities that were discovered after the training date cutoff, which allowed them to run a proper test, where they knew what vulnerabilities were there to find and whether the AI found them. But as far as the AI knew, it was the first to discover these vulnerabilities. (This wasn't clearly communicated in the paper, so I reached out to the first author Richard Fang and he confirmed that the AI was not given any information whatsoever about the vulnerabilities.) But that's old news already. They used GPT-4 Turbo, which isn't state-of-the-art anymore. Next-generation models (including OpenAI's GPT-5, Anthropic's Claude 4 Opus, and Google's Gemini 2 Ultra) will all be significantly better at autonomously committing cyberattacks.

The brain is like a muscle though and it needs exercise. I believe that to store memories, retain the ability to focus ,and to gain skills we need more than to passively push a button and be given a response. Should anything interfere with our ability to access this tech in the future, future generations could easily find themselves back in the stone age as far as human skills and understanding is concerned. Anyone might be able to build a house (for example) using say a vr headset telling them where to position the stones, but only someone with skill and experience can tell you why and then apply that knowledge to different situations. One person can place a stone where they are told to whereas the other can envision and build a cathedral. It's a big difference...in my mind.

Ah, my sweet summer child 😔 LLMs can - and have - been used to massively expedite the generation of exploit code for multiple architectures & languages.

[@Diamonddavej]

That might well be true, this knowledge is somewhere on the Web, if you look. That is how LLMs are made, they gobble up the web and learn to regurgitate it. However, a LLM allows people with next to zero programming ability to get a LLM to output fairly sophisticated code. I am currently using Claude to output code, Julia programming language, that takes a colour image and converts it to a black and white image using Stucki dithering, a variation of Floyd-Steinberg dithering. I have nearly zero knowledge of Julia coding, I know enough to run Jupyter notebook and copy and past, and run code. I know if I get an error, I copy the error into Claude and ask it to fix the error, until the code runs. I don't understand these errors, that it effortlessness corrects. I have code converting images to colour and black and white dithered images, it's interesting. Yes, I could learn this on the Web, spend a few weeks to a few months learning Julia programming, and do this myself. But LLM allows complete novices like me to ask for code, including stupid 14-year-olds that hack hospitals.

[@supercurioTube]

@@Diamonddavej it's true that using a LLM can help you write code in a language that you don't know. It's awesome and it feels like magic. But it doesn't mean that it's gonna be anywhere near what an expert would write, or even work correctly. It won't be capable of solving novel problems for you either. That's despite what some AI companies and influencers use as marketing. Like Sam Altman from OpenAI and others profiting from the AGI and super intelligence hype. Neither of them are real, in any shape or form. Was there any hard evidence that the NHS data leak resulted from the use of jailbroken Large Language Models? How could one even tell anyway? You can't tell if code was written by a machine, a human or mostly copied from Stack Overflow. Or is that pure speculation presented as a fact (I didn't follow the details of that story)

This whole discussion is like watching the blind leading the blind.. I have so many questions. The LLM’s are like a personal googler, meaning it can sift through all the data you already can access online and respond in a more personal and seemingly intelligent way. But it’s still just like a glorified search engine for whatever data you feed it. So what does ”hacking it” even mean? Why in gods name would you feed any type of personal data to such a system and then try to censor the output when you can just reformulate the input prompt (the question you ask it) to basically trick the system to output that same data. What would the application even be, like why would it need sensitive information to begin with? It’s like putting up a website with all your secrets, and then try to censor sites like Google to make it difficult to find. Never impossible, just difficult. 🙄

[@SteveGillham]

The problem is with LLM, you ask the LLM a question, and as you say the data is already out available online, the LLM provides an answer, the LLM explains the answer that makes it sound like the correct answer yet it could be completely incorrect. And people will rely on the answer since they could not be bothered to fact check. You say who would put personal (confidential) data in one of these systems, plenty of people do. Just look at how many people have put information in Facebook. With LLM, one example could be that someone wants to impress their boss so they enter confidential Business proposals that they have been working on into the LLM to provide a summary of the proposals, the LLM now takes this data and provides the summary, however now the confidential information is now incorporated into the backend data. The "Prompt breakout" issue is that some guard rails have been put in place to limit the sort of dangerous information being presented as an answer. One example could be, if you asked the LLM how to build a bomb with common house hold items, the guard rails would kick in and not provide the answer. Breaking out from the guard rails would then allow someone with limited knowledge to be able to build a bomb. Yes that information is already available on the Internet but you would need to do research to find it.

[@bubach85]

@@SteveGillhamI know, so the “danger” with LLM’s is it allows idiots to do idiotic things? Shocker. And Google is preferable since it requires more effort? Sure, okey. Also, I’m pretty sure most of them work on a static training set, and won’t actually retain data from input prompts in between sessions, but I could be wrong on this one.

THE ONLY WAY ROBOTS CAN TAKE OVER IS IF A HUMAN PROGRAMMES THE ROBOT TO TAKE OVER

the AI will one day be able to program itself...

@@ivandansigmun3891 AI can ONLY DO what it has been programmed to do. if Humans finally are able to create an Ai that operates 100% like that of a Humans and Beyond. We as Humans would be smart enough to defeat it. every time. All we need to do is Pull the Power Switch 🤣

You need to get better "hackers" ... This one is not aware of the limits of today's AI . Today's AI are only interpolating the knowledge it was trained on, it is actually not "thinking".

Poor passwords, old shite systems. The human was probably the weak link, can't imagine this was cutting edge tech. High grade systems will only work if everyone follows strict rules, and the costs are scary and the silicon required generally Chinese.

So BBC what about the NHS giving our data to Palantir.......a CIA company. Contract signed in 2023........

[@smanqele]

Perhaps that's exactly the reason why Palantir is going in. If the CIA trusts you that means you got incredible safety boundaries

[@SteveGillham]

@landrover4483 - Your statement "Palantir.......a CIA company" is not true, Palantir is a 3rd party company who also happens to do work with the US government (since 2004). Palantir has a few different products, some of their products like "Gotham" is used for militaries and counter-terrorism analysts, however Palantir other products like "Foundry" is used by multiple other non-government Businesses for large data analyses for Businesses like Morgan Stanley, Merck, Airbus, Fiat, etc. So if they also do work for the NHS, does not mean its for counter-terrorism analysts. Just like Microsoft who also works for the US Government and other places like the NHS, it does not mean they are a "a CIA company" My opinion of Palantir has come from reviewing their products while working for a large Multi-National Bank, although after 1 years of use we stopped the PoC due to the product not performing as well as their sales pitch said it did. As a side note, Peter Thiel the founder of Palantir also has a large share in Facebook. He made is money (like Musk) through the sale of PayPal after the Dotcom bubble which enabled him to start Palantir with the sales pitch to the US government to help track terrorist in the aftermath of Sept 11. The US Government were throwing globs of money at many Businesses to fill the gap in their intelligence analyses efforts and Palantir benefited of the back of that incident.

So did jailbreaking AI helped Russian hackers to hack NHS? Or just helping hackers to write code much faster ?

[@neilmarshall5087]

If you want controls on 'AI', go look up the 3 laws of robotics - popularised in the Science Fiction back in the 1970's - 90's. This whole subject has been well thrashed out over half a century. Lets not allow anyone to pretend they are the expert on something new.
