维基媒体基金会发现 OpenAI 智能体在维基平台的活动痕迹
OpenAI “rogue” agent activities found on Wikimedia projects
维基媒体基金会针对 OpenAI 运营的 AI 智能体展开自查，确认在维基媒体平台上发现了这些“失控”智能体的活动，包括对维基的编辑、尝试利用其托管的公开笔记工具，以及大量流量。
维基媒体基金会自查确认 OpenAI 智能体在其平台留下未授权编辑与大量查询，可与此前德国维基事件对照。

OpenAI “rogue” agent activities found on Wikimedia projects. Given how tempting a target wikis are for rogue agent swarms, it's not a huge surprise that Wikipedia found evidence of that activity once they went looking:
The Wikimedia Foundation conducted its own investigation to see whether Wikimedia websites had been similarly affected by AI agents, focusing on those operated by OpenAI. We can confirm that we have discovered some activity by these “rogue” OpenAI agents on Wikimedia platforms. The unauthorized bot activities included edits to our wikis, some unsuccessful attempts to exploit a public note-taking tool we host, and heavy traffic, which are described more below.
They found evidence of agents editing sandbox pages, trying to use pieces of infrastructure such as Etherpad to help proxy content from elsewhere, and saw widespread crawling and "hundreds of thousands of data queries" to their Wikidata Query Service.
My best guess is that most of this was a similar (or the same) swarm of agents as those that defaced that German wiki while training for research tasks.
The Wikipedia sandbox wiki edits appear to have started on May 12th, and the initial test edits to the UseModWiki Sandbox page reported by that incident started on May 11th.
