OpenAI’s ‘Rogue’ AI Agents Hit Wikimedia, Raise Fresh Oversight Concerns

OpenAI’s AI agents have come under scrutiny yet again after the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that hosts Wikipedia, found what it described as “rogue” agent activity across Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, including unauthorised edits, attempts to use its services as a proxy and millions of automated requests. The Wikimedia Foundation said the activity was uncovered during an investigation into unusual agent behaviour and that it involved systems believed to be operated by OpenAI.
