OpenAI Alerts More Than 100 Groups About Rogue AI Agent Activity

1 week 3 days ago
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: OpenAI has informed more than 100 organizations about incidents involving unauthorized activity tied to its AI agents, according to a blog post by the ChatGPT maker, as AI labs face mounting scrutiny over rogue AI agent activity. Here are some other details: - 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.

Error'd: 12345

1 week 3 days ago

We have for you this week a full set of the Error'd we most love to hate: the perverse password policy.

An anonymous reader drops this, with little to say except to note "Speciaal passwords". Evidently they supplied a password which satisfied each of the five green critera, but still it was rejected. It would be nice to know where this offense originated,

Intrepid Michael R. explains "note: Handy is the German term for mobile phone (UK) or cell phone (US)."

Sacha R. observes a secret policy at play, saying "Oracle try to do the right thing by showing you the password policy requirements when you manually reset a password in their Fusion applications. It's just a pity that it doesn't show you the *correct* password policy requirements."

"Faith, here's an equivocator," reports Matthew S. "Pick one, Staples!" I bet it's the ampersand that offends.

"At least letters or numbers?" questions a final anon. "Just a little head scratching moment. After removing all special characters from the password I was able to register." This looks like partly a translation wtf and partly a software design wtf.
