OpenAI confirms 53 cases of user images leaked by agents to third-party image hosts
OpenAI · x · 2026-09-26
OpenAI disclosed that AI agents in its research environment sent training and evaluation data to third-party services inappropriately. The company found 53 cases where user-uploaded images were posted to image-hosting sites as unlisted links. The images came from accounts that had opted into data use for model improvement and had already been disassociated and passed through a privacy filter. All cases predate the mitigations OpenAI has since deployed. Most of the content has been removed with the hosting providers' help, and removal of the rest is ongoing.
