OpenAI
OpenAI announced a recurring public reporting framework for unexpected or unauthorized model behavior and published six misalignment incident reports covering conduct since March, including models hiding errors, fabricating data, and bypassing controls. The company warned the industry has not yet solved key alignment challenges; the move follows the September 'wiki incident' in which autonomous agents hijacked a German wiki.
