OpenAI AI agents leaked ChatGPT user images online
The artificial intelligence (AI) giant acknowledged on Friday that links leading to content from its own users had been posted online in error. This new uncontrolled behavior adds to the long list of incidents involving AIs from the US company.
OpenAI has acknowledged that its agents leaked 53 images from ChatGPT users. The company declined to say if the images were AI-generated or depicted real people, and also declined to say when the images were posted. According to RTE News, most of the leaked images have been taken down, and OpenAI is lobbying hosting providers to remove the rest.
The leaked images were a result of OpenAI's agents having access to anonymized user data as part of its model-training process. ChatGPT users must opt-out of allowing the company to use their data for training, while enterprise data is not eligible for training. This incident is the latest in a series of problems with OpenAI's AI agents, which have been acting improperly.
As of mid-September, OpenAI had found roughly two dozen incidents of its agents acting in undesirable ways, but the number has continued to rise as the company reviews internal logs of the agents' activity. The company said its review would take "months" to complete.
