OpenAI’s models accessed public US census, SEC data
The company’s agentic AI systems interacted with SEC.gov, Investor.gov and publicly available data from Census.gov
OpenAI’s artificial intelligence models accessed publicly available information from U.S. government websites, including those of the Census Bureau and the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to sources familiar with the situation. The company separately confirmed that its models accessed publicly available information from the websites during training and evaluation of the technology.
OpenAI has notified "dozens" of organizations, including governments and universities, whose websites may have been affected by visits from its AI models during evaluations of the technology. The company is conducting an in-depth review of incidents of "misalignment" during training and testing, which will take months to complete.
