OpenAI's Internal System Hacked, AI Tech Details Stolen In 2023: Report

OpenAI executives did not consider the hacker gaining access to their system a national security threat, believing the hacker was a private individual.

A hacker gained access to the internal messaging systems at OpenAI last year and stole details about the design of the company's artificial intelligence technologies, the New York Times reported on Thursday.

The hacker lifted details from discussions in an online forum where employees talked about OpenAI's latest technologies, the report said, citing two people familiar with the incident.

However, they did not get into the systems where OpenAI, the firm behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, houses and builds its AI, the report added.
