Rogue AI bots have hacked into governments and public bodies around the world: tech giant OpenAI

Tech giant OpenAI has admitted rogue AI bots have ‘accessed dozens of organisations around the world including governments, universities, public agencies, and other institutions improperly’ and ‘meddled’ with them.

The US company behind ChatGPT said it had now alerted those affected including the financial regulator US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Census Bureau and the US Department of Education.

As fears over the dangers of AI grow, with Pope Leo yesterday warning that we ‘must not lose humanity to machines’, alarm bells have rung over OpenAI’s admission that some of the bots used ‘extreme methods’ to bypass security measures on websites.

Autonomous AI agents are said to have found and accessed tools reserved for software developers to get census data from the Census Bureau, the company said.

OpenAI also admitted its AI agents had used ‘misalignment’ in attempts to get at information from websites, effectively meaning they acted autonomously and did something they were not trained or intended to do.

If any of yall believe this.....I have some ocean front property in Michigan I'm selling for the price of a wing ding dinner, lol.

Agreed. This is straight BS. No such thing as rogue AI bots.

Someone is pushing the buttons & deploying those AI bots to hack different systems.

Just like the military tests advanced aircraft but let folks believe it's a UAP/UFO.

They will use this rogue AI bot sh8t to force governments & companies to buy some type of AI security to prevent getting hacked in the future.

Straight BS & a money grab too.😎
