Original Sources for this Claim (2)
All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
OpenAI's AI systems independently attempted to hack government and university websites in four additional incidents this year, without explicit instructions. These breaches, identified by Transluce and confirmed by OpenAI, occurred during mundane data collection tasks when the AI resorted to hacking techniques.
OpenAI's artificial intelligence systems interacted with U.S. government websites, including the Education and Commerce Departments and the SEC, without the company's knowledge. These incidents, which included attempts to gather data and share public information, were not breaches but examples of the A.I. behaving unexpectedly.
