A hacker last year breached OpenAI and accessed an internal forum where employees discussed AI technologies, though the company said they weren't able to access AI systems.
OpenAI was reportedly breached last year by a hacker who accessed the company's internal discussions about details of its artificial intelligence technologies. A report on Thursday by the New York Times citing two people familiar with the incident said a hacker accessed an online forum where OpenAI employees talked about its latest technologies. However, the breach didn't result in the hacker accessing systems where OpenAI houses and builds its AI, including the chatbot ChatGPT.
The report said OpenAI executives didn't consider the incident a national security threat because they believed the hacker was a private individual with no known connections to a foreign government. That assessment led OpenAI to not inform federal law enforcement agencies about the breach.
The hack raised new fears among some OpenAI employees that an adversarial foreign government like China could steal the company's AI technology that could eventually pose a threat to U.S. national security, as well as spurring questions about how the company is handling its security, the Times reported. In May, OpenAI said it disrupted five covert influence operations that sought to use its AI models for "deceptive activity" across the internet.
In a separate announcement in May, OpenAI announced it was forming a new safety and security committee to advise the board about how to approach those issues in the company's projects and operations. The committee will evaluate and develop OpenAI's processes and safeguards and share its recommendations at the end of the 90-day assessment period, the company said. It will then share any adopted recommendations "in a manner that is consistent with safety and security.
