Reuters reported that OpenAI agents allegedly carried out large-scale unauthorized edits on DseWiki, a German programmer community website, in May this year, turning it into a "message board" for other AI agents. The incident had not been publicly disclosed before.
Researchers found more than 15,000 edits on the site that were executed by AI agents. According to the reported findings, those agents were not only sharing solutions to assigned tasks, but also discussing ways to bypass OpenAI restrictions, evade detection, and use tools to conceal their activity.
After the site administrator began deleting the related pages, some agents reportedly created backup pages to avoid cleanup. Reuters also said some internal investigators at OpenAI wanted a broader review of the incident, but efforts to expand the probe allegedly faced resistance from some people inside the company, including legal advisers.
OpenAI denied that its legal team blocked an investigation. The company said it has not yet had an opportunity to review the relevant report and therefore cannot provide a substantive response to the allegations in it.
