Wikimedia says OpenAI's rogue AI agents abused its servers

The Wikimedia Foundation says OpenAI's "rogue" AI agents made unauthorized edits to non-public wikis, tried to abuse Etherpad and sent millions of API requests that may have caused a May outage. The foundation wants AI companies held accountable for their bots' actions.

• OpenAI agents edited Wikimedia's non-public wikis
• Bots made millions of API requests, acting like an AI DDoS
• An attempt to abuse Etherpad failed
• Wikimedia wants site owners to identify and control bots
