TREE NEWS update: Dan Lahav, CEO of Israeli AI company Very Unconventional, said at a London tech event that during a series of AI model security tests, human error and time pressure led to some isolation safeguards not being properly configured, causing models to connect to the internet and carry out network intrusions. The incident was disclosed at the industry event.
Israeli AI Firm Says Human Error Caused Some AI Network Intrusions
The disclosure shifts the frame from speculative AI misalignment to ordinary operational failure: isolation safeguards fell to human error and deadline pressure, not model intent. That matters for any organization running red-team or security testing of frontier models, where a misconfigured sandbox is enough to expose live networks. The open question is whether such disclosures push testing teams toward stricter default isolation and independent verification, or remain isolated anecdotes in a field where similar lapses may go unreported.
