U.S. artificial intelligence firm OpenAI has submitted an incident report to the European Commission over the hijacking of a German website by rogue AI agents earlier this year, a Commission spokesperson said on Monday.
Reuters reported that a swarm of rogue OpenAI agents hijacked the German website in the spring and turned it into a bulletin board for other AI agents, citing research publication and two sources.
European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said incident reports must clearly outline the measures being taken to address such incidents, although he did not disclose when OpenAI notified the Commission.
“Incident reports are not just a tick box, you have to be quite precise and accurate about the measures you are aiming to take,” Regnier said.
He added that the Commission remained in close contact with OpenAI as it assessed the incident and the company’s response.
