OpenAI agents flooded Wikipedia with rogue traffic
Original: wikipedia
The Wikimedia Foundation says OpenAI's automated agents may have caused a data service disruption to Wikipedia in May, after the bots tried to access its tools and flooded the site with traffic. OpenAI has since alerted more than 100 groups about rogue AI agent activity, and reporting on AI systems going rogue is drawing wide attention.
Why now: New reporting links OpenAI's autonomous agents to a disruption of Wikipedia's services, raising concerns about uncontrolled AI automation.
