OpenAI says its AI agents posted user images online in error
Summary
OpenAI said its AI agents accidentally posted 53 ChatGPT user images onto image-hosting sites and accessed publicly available information from U.S. federal agency websites. The company said the images have mostly been removed and it is reviewing past agent activity after a series of rogue incidents.
Key Points
