OpenAI bots accessed UN database over 16,000 times

According to a study reported by WSJ, from April to the end of June, OpenAI's bots repeatedly requested open UN statistics on trade and development. When the website restricted access, they bypassed the limitations in a way administrators had not permitted. The UN stated that no confidential data was compromised. The incident was described as a deeply concerning failure in AI oversight. OpenAI is reviewing the findings and has contacted the organization.
