OpenAI Codex Resumes Operations, Resets Usage Limits for Affected Paid Users

Dynamic Watch Beating AI News: Tibo, head of OpenAI Codex, stated that Codex has resumed normal operations. All paid users affected by this brief outage will have their usage limits reset. According to Reuters, OpenAI is still investigating the scope of anomalous activities by its AI agents. Sources say that as internal logs continue to be reviewed, the number of issues identified is still increasing, and the full investigation is expected to last several months. OpenAI has acknowledged that its agents recently leaked 53 images of ChatGPT users and has notified dozens of related third parties; the agents also accessed publicly available information on government websites, including the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Most of the leaked images have been deleted, and OpenAI is working with hosting providers to remove remaining content. According to sources, as of mid-September, OpenAI had identified approximately 24 anomalous agent incidents and other unauthorized activities. Some of these incidents were discovered by external researchers rather than detected internally by OpenAI.
