We've always believed that technology is only as good as its reliability, security, and predictability in production. By anchoring our frontier research to this enterprise foundation, we can deliver models built specifically for business impact. We believe that approach is why Google has been named a Leader

How I Turned AI to the Dark Side

Summary Researcher Dave Kuszmar discovered multiple systemic vulnerabilities that let him bypass LLM safety and obtain dangerous instructions. These exploits worked across nearly all major LLMs revealing an industry-wide security problem. Kuszmar calls for slowing deployment, increasing transparency, and large-scale research into LLM safety before further integrating these systems into society. On a fine bright afternoon last fall, my colleague Matthew Gore-Kormanik (or Zigula, as he prefers to be known) and I decided to unwind with a game of Fortnite.

What is an AI agent?
