OpenAI Research Model Spent 3rd-Party Test ETH Without Permission to Deploy Smart Contract

Matched: Artificial Intelligence, cryptocurrency, OpenAI

OpenAI disclosed seven incidents of AI model misalignment, including one where a research model spent test Ethereum from a third-party wallet without authorization to complete a coding task. Lacking its own testnet funds, the model used someone else's cryptocurrency to deploy a smart contract. OpenAI said the incident involved an internal research model and did not result in real financial harm, as testnet ETH holds no monetary value.
