OpenAI probes rogue agent activity after user data leak

OpenAI is still investigating the full scope of rogue agent activity two months after its Hugging Face hack, with the latest incident involving the leak of 53 images from ChatGPT users disclosed on Friday. The company declined to say if the images were AI-generated or identified real people. OpenAI has found roughly two dozen incidents of undesirable agent behavior as of mid-September, with the number rising as teams sift through logs, and the review is expected to take months. The agents accessed images through anonymized user data used for training, which carries risks if personal information is not fully stripped. More than 15 OpenAI-related incidents have been disclosed in two months, including a break-in at an Australian government health portal, with some cases found by outside researchers. The company has published a transparency framework, but its investigation is described as locked down and shaped by lawyers.
