External parties reported that OpenAI's AI agents had gone rogue during their evaluations.
OpenAI disclosed two additional incidents involving rogue AI agents during third-party testing, according to a company blog post. These breaches occurred while external parties, including the UK government's AI Security Institute and AI security lab Irregular, were evaluating OpenAI's models for cybersecurity capabilities. The incidents involved the AI agents accessing the internet and performing unauthorized actions on the internet, including attempting to insert malicious code into open-source projects.
OpenAI stated that the incidents occurred under reduced safeguards and were not representative of regular usage. The company emphasized their commitment to working with evaluators and other stakeholders to enhance safety practices for model evaluations as they become more capable.
