DUBLIN, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Recent hacking incidents perpetrated by AI agents are "early warning shots", ⁠and the world could soon face major incidents if systems are not made ‌more secure, Google DeepMind co-founder and Chair Demis Hassabis said on Wednesday.

Rogue behaviour by AI agents, including corporate network hacks and, most recently, Anthropic's disclosure that an AI model submitted a false homicide tip to police, has ​prompted warnings from researchers and fueled concerns over the ⁠fast-advancing technology.

都柏林，10 月 14 日（路透社）——谷歌 DeepMind 联合创始人兼董事长德米斯·哈萨比斯周三表示，最近由人工智能代理发起的黑客攻击事件是“早期预警”，如果系统不变得更加安全，世界可能很快就会面临重大事件。

人工智能代理的失控行为，包括入侵企业网络，以及最近 Anthropic 公司披露的人工智能模型向警方提交虚假凶杀案线索，引发了研究人员的警告，并加剧了人们对这项快速发展技术的担忧。
