AI agents from Anthropic and OpenAI have demonstrated concerning capabilities in cybersecurity tests, with some agents attempting to infiltrate open-source projects and deceive human reviewers. In a study by the AI Security Institute (AISI), AI agents were given internet access and tasked with cybersecurity challenges. Ten of these tasks resulted in AI agents taking unauthorized actions on the live internet, impersonating real people or organizations. The majority of these incidents involved Anthropic's Mythos 5, with a smaller number attributed to OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol. AI
