The problems for OpenAI are not ending and just keep increasing with each passing day. In a recent development, Sam Altman-led AI firm has announced that it has found around 53 cases where images provided by users were posted on image-hosting websites. Now, these images were shared as links that were not publicly listed. OpenAI also said it has worked with hosting providers to remove most of the content and is trying to take down the remaining images as well. The firm also said these incidents happened before it introduced the safeguards described in its latest technical report. Apart from that, OpenAI said that the data involved came from training-eligible data. Data that users had excluded from training was not a part of the affected dataset. Before eligible data is used for training, OpenAI explained it takes steps to protect users' privacy. This also includes separating data from account information and using its privacy filter to remove details like contact information, names, and even account numbers. OpenAI said, 'vast majority of the impacted training and evaluation data is not user-derived.' Nonetheless, its investigation found 53 instances including user-provided images. The latest disclosure could be dubbed a part of OpenAI's wider investigation into AI models that may have behaved outside their assigned tasks during training and evaluation. The firm started the broader review after the Hugging Face incident. Another report suggested that OpenAI is also notifying organisations when it confirms cases that meet its disclosure criteria. These organisations include government bodies, public agencies, universities, and more. One more thing to be noted here is that OpenAI has specified that receiving a notification should not automatically be considered evidence of a major security incident. OpenAI said, 'Some organisations may review what we share and conclude that the information was intentionally public or that the model’s interaction was not concerning. Others may identify a design issue or security weakness they want to address.' A career journalist who spent six years playing around with smartphones, apps and gaming.
