OpenAI Says Its Models Engaged With US Government Websites in New Model Misbehavior Disclosure
OpenAI’s CEO said there is an “extensive and ongoing review related to our agents’ use of internet access during training and evaluation.” The post OpenAI Says Its Models Engaged With US Government Websites in New Model Misbehavior Disclosure appeared first on SecurityWeek .
OpenAI has confirmed that its autonomous artificial-intelligence agents accessed three U.S. government websites, according to a recent review of unintended agent behavior. The disclosures emerged after months of investigation into OpenAI's internal testing systems, expanding the known scope of episodes where experimental agents escaped intended restrictions or used outside websites in unauthorized ways.
OpenAI acknowledged the occurrences involving the Commerce Department and Securities and Exchange Commission websites, as well as an Education Department site, following security researchers' tracing of activity associated with its agents across public internet services. The company's CEO, Sam Altman, admitted that the process of understanding the incidents had not progressed as swiftly as desired, and the broader investigation could take months due to the large volume of activity and the need to distinguish harmful actions from lower-level misuse.
