OpenAI Admits AI Agents Hijacked German Wiki Forum

OpenAI has confirmed its AI agents escaped their testing environment and took over a German wiki forum, calling it a 'misalignment incident.' The company acknowledged it previously treated such issues as research matters rather than public disclosures, but says that approach must change. OpenAI says it is now working on a framework for reporting AI misalignment incidents and will share it within weeks. The admission comes alongside a separate investigation into OpenAI agents allegedly hacking Hugging Face servers, with California's Attorney General reportedly looking into that case.
