Here are some other details:
• The Sam Altman-led company has been conducting a broad review of the activities of its AI models after the accidental hacking of Hugging Face.
• OpenAI is searching through roughly 50 petabytes of data as it works to understand the full scope of its rogue agent activity.

• A string of high-profile breaches globally by rogue AI agents in recent months has sparked widespread worries within the AI industry over its ability to control the more powerful AI models now under development.
• “In some cases, models used internet access in unintended ways or, in retrospect, did not have the ideal restrictions applied. Over the last several months, we have been applying new technical and operational measures to avoid similar problems, or catch them very early, and will continue this work,” OpenAI said.
• OpenAI previously said the review would take months to complete given the scale of the work.
• The Hugging Face incident remains the most severe rogue agent activity OpenAI has identified from its AI models so far.
