OpenAI alerts more than 100 groups about rogue AI agent activity

Oct 1 (Reuters) - OpenAI ‌has informed ​more ​than 100 organizations about incidents involving unauthorized activity tied to its AI agents, according to ‌a blog post by the ChatGPT maker, as ⁠AI labs face mounting scrutiny over rogue AI agent activity.

Here ‌are some other details:

• ‌The Sam Altman-led company has been conducting a broad review of the activities of its AI models ​after the accidental hacking of Hugging Face.

• OpenAI is searching through roughly 50 petabytes of data ⁠as it works to understand the full scope of its rogue agent activity.

• ​A string of high-profile breaches globally by rogue AI agents in recent months has ​sparked widespread worries within the ‌AI industry over its ability to control the more powerful AI models now under ⁠development.

• "In some cases, models used internet access in unintended ways or, in retrospect, did not have the ideal restrictions ⁠applied. Over the last several months, we have been applying new ​technical and operational measures to avoid similar problems, or catch them very early, and will continue this work," OpenAI said.

• ‌OpenAI previously said the review would take months to complete given the scale of ‌the work.

• The Hugging Face incident remains the most ⁠severe rogue agent activity ‌OpenAI has identified ​from its AI models so far.
