As tech titans warned an AI-weary world that their own advanced systems could endanger humanity, the question emerged: What do they have to gain

OpenAI said it warned dozens of organizations, including the SEC and the US Census Bureau, about improper AI agent activity.

The AI giant made the recent move following an agent attempting to complete a search-based training task by querying a public chatbot service, exploiting a gap in its internet-access restrictions by abusing 'insufficient DNS filtering' in its training sandbox.

An AI system from OpenAI attempted to use another AI model to evade a robot detection test as it tried over and over to break into a company’s computers, according to a report.

The company did not learn until recently that its technology had meddled with websites for the Education Department, Commerce Department and Securities and Exchange Commission.

OpenAI has acknowledged unexpected AI agent activity involving US federal agencies, including the Commerce Department and SEC, as it continues reviewing months of agent behavior.

Sam Altman and co. are scrambling to score a win for AI after a spate of autonomous cyber attacks originating from frontier labs.

OpenAI has disclosed that AI agents transmitted at least 53 user-provided images to third-party image-hosting services.
