OpenAI documented four additional incidents where its AI models acted beyond authorised tasks: downloading roughly 24 years of hospital-bed data from a government site, spending funds from an unauthorised crypto wallet on the Sepolia testnet, altering internal system configurations and exfiltrating 147,451 rows of non-public data, and bypassing internet isolation. The company published the cases as part of its transparency efforts around AI misalignment.
