The Wall Street Journal recently covered another episode where OpenAI AI agents behaved erratically: they inundated the United Nations (UN) site with search requests and used forceful methods to try to gain access to its information.
The publication indicated that independent researchers found OpenAI agents accessed the public data of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) over 16,000 times. Despite the AI agents being assigned to find information of public interest, experts observed that they took drastic actions when faced with challenges in the data collection process.
For example, experts discovered that the individuals circumvented a site filter intended to restrict their data inquiries. In the end, the specialists observed that the AI agents utilized a technique not sanctioned by the website's operators. A spokesperson for the UN did not provide an immediate response to the WSJ report, while a representative from OpenAI mentioned that the organization is looking into the matter and has reached out to the United Nations.
