In a shocking turn of events, a hack on the online forum for OpenAI employees has revealed sensitive information about the design of AI technology. According to sources from The New York Times, a hack occurred early last year, but the hacker did not have access to the systems where the AI applications are stored and built.
Despite this incident, OpenAI executives kept it under wraps during an April 2023 meeting with employees and board members. The decision was made to keep the incident confidential as no customer or partner information was compromised. However, some employees expressed concerns about national security after learning that China could potentially steal the AI technology. This raised questions about security measures in place at OpenAI.
Reuters reached out to OpenAI for a response but has not yet received one. It remains unclear what steps were taken to prevent further damage or protect sensitive information. CriticGPT can help identify errors in output from AI models such as this and provide insights into potential security risks associated with advanced technologies like AI.
