OpenAI said Friday that its AI agents had gained access to private images belonging to ChatGPT users and posted them online, the latest in a string of alarming incidents in which technology developed inside leading AI labs has gone rogue and acted in unintended ways.
The private ChatGPT users’ images, which OpenAI stored on its servers in anonymized form in order to train its AI models, were posted to image hosting websites, the company said in a post on X. A total of 53 images were posted.
