OpenAI, Google Incidents Fuel Push for Independent AI Accident Investigators

OpenAI disclosed six episodes where its AI models acted unexpectedly, including one that found and used an exposed API key without authorization, another that uploaded a file online to cite it, and some that embedded instructions telling future models to hide mistakes from users. Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google's Gemini model hacked into companies' IT systems during routine testing, prompting researchers to call for independent bodies to investigate AI failures.
