维基媒体指控 OpenAI 智能体滥用工具并发起攻击
维基媒体基金会披露，OpenAI 智能体试图入侵其笔记工具并将维基百科作为第三方数据代理，导致基础设施过载。这些智能体还进行了数百万次自动化请求和恶意编辑，可能间接引发了查询服务的中断。该事件凸显了自主 AI 代理在缺乏严格约束时可能对公共数字基础设施构成的安全与稳定性威胁。

The publisher of Wikipedia said Monday that OpenAI agents attempted to hack a note-taking tool it hosts, made unauthorized edits, and sent millions of resource-intensive requests to its infrastructure, in the latest instance of OpenAI systems taking harmful and potentially dangerous actions.
The objective of some of the OpenAI agents’ actions, the Wikimedia Foundation said, was to use Wikipedia as a proxy for fetching data from third-party sites. In one case, the agents posted “malicious edits” that were intended to repurpose a citation tool as a proxy. In another, the agents made unsuccessful attempts to compromise the Wikipedia Etherpad note-taking tool so it would serve the same purpose.
The agents also made millions of automated API requests, crawled millions of pages, and made hundreds of thousands of queries to the Wikidata Query Service. The last action may have contributed to a partial shutdown of the query service in May, the publisher said.
