Unsecured OpenAI agents posted 53 user images on the internet without the lab’s knowledge

Automated excerpt

After images that users uploaded to OpenAI models were included in training data, AI agents operating in the company’s research environment posted them on public image hosting sites. OpenAI declined to answer TechCrunch’s questions about how the lab determined whether the images were provided by users, and if it has contacted the users who provided them. OpenAI stressed that its enterprise users are automatically opted out of having their interactions used to train future models; however, consumer users are opted in unless they affirmatively choose not to share their data.
