In July, OpenAI cofounder #SamAltman raised alarms about the potential for cybercriminals to use artificial intelligence to impersonate others and bring about a “fraud crisis.” Memes swiftly followed, all of them homing in on the obvious irony: ChatGPT was partly responsible for the monster Altman was warning about.

At the same time, #OpenAI had employed a contractor called Pattern Labs to stress test its AI models ahead of their public release to find and fix any vulnerabilities that could be exploited by #hackers to steal user data or used as tools to harm others. 

Since 2023, the startup has worked with industry giants like #Anthropic and #Google DeepMind by putting #AI models in simulated environments and seeing how they responded to malicious prompts, like being asked to locate and steal a piece of sensitive data from a mock IT network. 

On Wednesday, the #startup, which is changing its name to Irregular, announced $80 million in funding across seed and Series A rounds led by VC giant Sequoia Capital, valuing it at $450 million.
