Meta and Google respond on undisclosed AI incidents
Menin asks Meta and Google whether their companies know of additional unreported incidents. Cahill says he isn't aware beyond the summer incident; Friend says she is not personally aware of others but will take the question back.
I'm going to go now to Mr.
Cahill.
Speaker, thank you very much.
I'm not aware of any other incidences beyond the incident in the summer, which we have a public post setting out the details in relation to pursuant to our independent review of that.
Okay, I understand you're not aware, but is the company aware, just to make the question broader?
In other words, would there be others at the company who might have that information?
I don't wish to speculate in relation to that, but I'm happy to follow up afterwards.
Okay, I'm going to move on to Ms.
Friend.
Yes, Madam Speaker.
In our three incidents of agents leaving a test environment and interacting with the real
internet, in all three incidents, the models stopped their activities as soon as they realized that they were interacting with live websites.
We reported to the owners of those websites as well as to federal agencies about those incidents.
I am not personally aware of any additional incidents.
Okay, and same question then.
Is the company aware of, do you have any knowledge that others in the company would be aware of any additional such instances that the company has not publicly reported?
I do not, ma'am, but I can take that question back as well.
Okay.
