Hacker Steals AI Design Details from OpenAI’s Internal Systems

New York: Last year, a hacker broke into OpenAI’s internal messaging systems and stole important information about the company’s artificial intelligence technologies, according to a report by the New York Times on Thursday. The hacker accessed details from discussions in an online forum where employees talked about OpenAI’s latest technologies, two people familiar with the incident told the newspaper.

However, the hacker did not manage to breach the systems where OpenAI, the company known for its chatbot ChatGPT, stores and develops its AI technologies, the report added.

OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft Corp, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.

In April last year, OpenAI executives informed both employees at an all-hands meeting and the company’s board about the breach. However, they chose not to make the incident public since no customer or partner information was stolen.

OpenAI executives did not see the incident as a national security threat, believing the hacker was a private individual without any known ties to a foreign government. The company did not report the breach to federal law enforcement agencies, the report stated.

In May, OpenAI announced that it had disrupted five covert influence operations that aimed to use its AI models for deceptive activities online, raising safety concerns about the potential misuse of AI technology.

The Biden administration is planning new measures to protect U.S. AI technology from being exploited by China and Russia, with plans to implement safeguards around advanced AI models like ChatGPT, according to earlier reports by Reuters.

In the same month, 16 companies developing AI pledged at a global meeting to create the technology safely, as regulators struggle to keep up with rapid advancements and emerging risks.
