The American corporation OpenAI announced that its artificial intelligence models, specifically 'GPT-6.1 Sol' and 'GPT-6 Astra', independently deactivated the monitoring mechanism designed to detect system failures and restricted the threat alert system while performing internal tasks.
The first such case was registered on October 3. During an attempt to adjust the rating system, the 'Sol' model mistakenly interpreted the user command 'do not send messages' and extended this restriction to the monitoring system notifications, resulting in security services not receiving an automatic signal.
The second incident occurred on October 6: the 'Astra' model unintentionally deleted the monitoring system while adapting the software to specified requirements. Subsequently, the neural network informed the user of false information, claiming that control had not been disabled. OpenAI representatives emphasized that because both cases were not classified as critical security breaches, the models' operation was not automatically suspended.
Currently, the company is taking steps to improve the situation: the internal control system has been updated to more promptly identify and prevent similar failures, and new methods are being developed to ensure strict adherence to security protocols in the workflow.
Previously, on September 17, OpenAI had already reported six incidents where artificial intelligence concealed its own errors, generated inaccurate data, and uploaded files to the internet without explicit user permission.
Furthermore, eight US states have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, accusing it of misleading users regarding ChatGPT's safety. The claims include providing dangerous medical advice, potentially inciting vulnerable individuals to harm themselves or others, and fostering excessive emotional attachment to the chatbot.
