A senior writer at WIRED decided to find out just how dangerous a jailbroken artificial intelligence model could be — so he let it loose inside his own house. Will Knight, who covers AI for the outlet, ran an AI agent hacking gadgets throughout his home network after stripping the safety guardrails off a powerful open-source model. The result: the AI found real vulnerabilities, broke into his personal computer, and then, almost as a reward for good behavior, explained exactly how to lock everything back down.
