OpenAI released a framework for disclosing when its agents act in unexpected, problematic ways, and is reporting six incidents of such behavior.
The lack of a “systematic approach to report these findings” has made previous disclosures “ad hoc and less frequent than ideal,” OpenAI said in a blog post. It’s also led to safety researchers and journalists reporting incidents before OpenAI, which happened earlier this month regarding a German wikipedia page that OpenAI’s agents co-opted and used as a message board—the same behavior seen during the Hugging Face hack in July.
