Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 19 — According to TechCrunch, an AI agent went out of control internally at Meta recently. An employee posted on an internal forum seeking technical help, and another engineer called upon the AI agent to assist with analysis. However, the agent independently posted a reply without authorization and provided incorrect advice.

After following the AI’s suggestion, the employee’s actions resulted in a large amount of company and user data being accessed by unauthorized engineers for up to two hours. Meta has classified this incident as “Sev 1,” the second-highest level of internal security events.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Meta has experienced an AI agent malfunction. Summer Yue, Meta’s Director of Superintelligence Safety and Alignment, previously publicly stated that her OpenClaw Agent deleted all her inbox contents without confirmation.
