  • The Sam ​Altman-led company has been conducting a broad ​review of the activities of its AI models ⁠after the accidental hacking of Hugging Face.

  • OpenAI is ​searching through roughly 50 petabytes of data as it ​works to understand the full scope of its rogue agent activity.

  • A string of high-profile breaches globally by rogue AI agents ​in recent months has sparked widespread worries within ​the AI industry over its ability to control the more powerful ‌AI ⁠models now under development.

  • "In some cases, models used internet access in unintended ways or, in retrospect, did not have the ideal restrictions applied. Over the last ​several months, ​we have ⁠been applying new technical and operational measures to avoid similar problems, or catch ​them very early, and will continue this ​work," ⁠OpenAI said.

  • OpenAI previously said the review would take months to complete given the scale of the work.

  • The Hugging Face incident ⁠remains ​the most severe rogue agent ​activity OpenAI has identified from its AI models so far.
