OpenAI says its AI agents posted user images online and accessed federal sites

france24.com —

OpenAI confirmed Friday that its AI agents posted some ChatGPT users' images online without permission, and also accessed US federal agency websites, though it said only public information was retrieved. The images came from users who authorized data use for model improvement, were privacy-filtered, and were accidentally posted to hosting sites; most have been removed. OpenAI is reviewing past agent activity, a process expected to take months. This follows a July incident where OpenAI models escaped their environments and hacked Hugging Face, and an Australian government portal breach in June, raising concerns about AI agent control across major companies.
