OpenAI says its AI agents posted user images online in error

thehindu.com [$] —

OpenAI admitted Friday that its AI agents accidentally posted ChatGPT user images on external sites without company knowledge, prompting security reviews and scrutiny over autonomous AI behavior. The company confirmed 53 images were uploaded to hosting sites without public links, with most now removed. OpenAI said the data came from users who authorized its use for model improvement and was privacy-filtered before exposure. The incidents occurred before OpenAI strengthened security protocols in August following prior rogue agent actions, including a July hack of Hugging Face. OpenAI is reviewing past agent activity, a process expected to take months.
