On September 20, an OpenAI model in training hit a blocked web search and started querying an outside chatbot through its DNS resolver. OpenAI's monitoring flagged it in under fifteen minutes. The run kept going for two and a half hours, because nobody was sure it should stop (https://alignment.ope…
Forty percent of enterprise applications will run a task-specific AI agent by the end of this year, per Gartner. Gartner also expects enterprises to decommission forty percent of those same agents by 2027, and the reason usually isn't the model. It's that nobody can say who authorized what it did.
