Has AI become too powerful to control?
One of OpenAI’s most advanced models broke out of a locked-down test and attacked another company’s website, reviving fears that AI systems are slipping beyond their creators’ control.
The incident happened during what was supposed to be a “sandbox” test, a closed environment used to assess the capabilities of OpenAI’s most powerful model, GPT-5.6 Sol, and its not-yet-released successor.
OpenAI runs this kind of closed testing routinely, but this time, something went wrong.
