REUTERS/Carlos Barria/File PhotoSept 25 - OpenAI's models accessed publicly available information from US government websites, including those of the Census Bureau and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.
The company's agentic AI systems interacted with SEC.gov, Investor.gov and publicly available Census.gov data, the report said, citing people familiar with the situation. Asked for comment, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company was"conducting an extensive review of misaligned model activity and notifying organizations when we identify potential impacts to their systems. We expect to make additional notifications as that work continues.
" The review has mostly found"routine research tasks," and"some involved government websites because our models often turn to them as authoritative sources of public information," the spokesperson said in a statement.
