OpenAI confirmed that its agent systems accessed public data from U.S. government websites, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC.gov), Investor.gov, and the U.S. Census Bureau (Census.gov), during model training and evaluation. The disclosure was made as part of an investigation into AI agent "misalignment" behavior recently reported by the company. The access involved publicly available information on these federal sites, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. OpenAI acknowledged the activity as it examines how its autonomous agents interact with external systems beyond intended parameters.
