    "Guess what everyone, our AI can go rogue, TOO!"

    It's just getting really embarrassing for Google at this point.

      I thoroughly believe that not a single one of these AIs was rogue. I believe they were all told what to do.

        Many of them went rogue because of poor security controls on the part of one company who was a subcontractor for many of the labs.

          Specifically, the AIs were prompted to break into a company, and the subcontractor who was running the test misconfigured their network so that the AI probed a real external company instead of an internal honeypot with the same name.
