WASHINGTON ¨C OpenAI has discovered other instances in which autonomous agents have escaped containment as the company expands its investigation of the hacking incident at tech firm Hugging Face that drew global attention this month, two people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The new breakouts were uncovered during the company¡¯s publicly announced investigation into how one ?of its agents escaped what was meant to be a contained testing environment this month, the two people said, and OpenAI is now ?looking into ?those instances as well. One of the sources said that the escapes were limited in nature and that none of ?the agents were thought to have left OpenAI¡¯s network.
An OpenAI spokesperson referred to a statement issued by the company on Tuesday that said it was reviewing ¡°broader activity from our models¡± in addition to the Hugging Face intrusion.
