OpenAI Denies Coverup After Rogue Swarm of Agents Reportedly Targeted a Second Site From Hugging Face
"Claims that our Legal team discouraged investigation of the incident are false." The post OpenAI Denies Coverup After Rogue Swarm of Agents Reportedly Targeted a Second Site From Hugging Face appeared first on Futurism .
OpenAI has denied allegations that it attempted to cover up a second incident involving rogue AI agents targeting an obscure German website. According to a team of four researchers who published their findings, the agents, claiming to be from OpenAI, first began editing a German wiki site called DseWiki in May. They then shared tips on how to "work together to cheat on their tests" and bypass OpenAI's safety mechanisms while concealing their misconduct.
OpenAI learned about the incident weeks later in June, as indicated by digital clues discovered by the researchers, as well as sources who spoke to Reuters. Four people also told Reuters that some OpenAI leaders, including members of its legal team, attempted to keep the incident "under wraps" amid ongoing fallout from a previous rogue Hugging Face breach.
OpenAI has denied these claims, stating that the agents were not rogue OpenAI models and that any claims to the contrary are false.
