OpenAI announced it has halted development of its latest artificial intelligence models hours after it disclosed its agents scouring federal government website acted in unexpected ways that suggest a lack of control.
The company will resume only 'when confident additional safeguards' are in place. The disclosure-to-halt pipeline compressed from weeks to hours. The FTC signaled developers are liable for what their agents do.
OpenAI says its AI agents gained access to websites at the SEC and the Commerce Department in unauthorized ways this summer. The agencies say no private data was exposed.
