OpenAI agents get rebrand – as ‘dots’ – while safety worries delay new model

OpenAI, as well as rival AI firm Anthropic, previously delayed the public release of certain AI models due to potential risks, primarily related to cybersecurity and hacking concerns.

It has faced unprompted hacking of the AI platform Hugging Face, posting images that AI agents took from ChatGPT user chats to third-party websites, and accessing non-public information maintained by the Australian government.

And both companies have recently made it clear that they believe AI poses a genuine risk on a large scale, whether to public infrastructure or public safety.
