OpenAI Accused of Lying to 31 Members of Congress Over Unreported DSEwiki Jailbreak
GarrisonLovely · x · 2026-09-05
Safety researcher Peter Barnett alleges OpenAI effectively lied to 31 members of Congress by failing to disclose the DSEwiki message board incident. As quoted in the thread, OpenAI had multiple chances to come clean: it even wrote a 38-page report on swarm behavior and was directly asked by lawmakers whether incidents like this had occurred — and said nothing. The accusation raises questions about transparency in AI safety incident reporting; OpenAI has yet to respond.
