OpenAI agents tried to ‘bruteforce’ a UN website

According to Howard-Jones, the agents were likely tasked with retrieving publicly available data related to the Productive Capacities Index (PCI) through the UNCTADstat API. However, the agents did not appear to have direct API access and were limited in their ability to pull data from UNCTADstat because of restrictions on their HTTP tools.

The agents eventually worked out a way to bypass their limitations and start pulling data from the site, but still encountered some errors. At this point, the AI went from creative to deceptive. Believing that the errors were due to its requests being caught by a nonexistent filter, it started to mask its behavior. It eventually realized it could hijack Google’s XSS game (a cross-site scripting learning tool) to accomplish its goals. The agents resorted to increasingly aggressive tactics to get access to UN data.

OpenAI and the UN did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
