This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World
Service.
I'm Nick Miles, and in the early hours of Sunday, the 27th of September, these are our main stories. OpenAI informs dozens of global institutions that their website may have been accessed improperly by its artificial intelligence agents that went rogue. President Trump rejects an Iranian proposal to fully reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz. We hear what's blocking progress.
What is driving the renewed fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray region?
And a contentious march in Northern Ireland looks set to take place in the latest twist in a court battle that's seen sectarian tensions rise. Also in this podcast, Bangladesh launches a nationwide vaccination campaign to combat its worst ever measles outbreak. And
it's trying to basically mimic the ritual that we enjoy from shopping, the satisfaction and the rush we get after we place an order, without us actually having to pay for it.
A fake purchase, but a real dopamine hit. Once again, the alarming activities of artificial intelligence agents bots which can act autonomously are dominating the headlines. OpenAI says it's warned dozens of organizations around the world, including government bodies, that its software may have interfered with their websites without its knowledge. This announcement comes days after the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albenese, said that OpenAI agents had hacked into his government's healthcare system. With more on these latest developments, his are North America technology correspondent Lily Jamal.
How is Bangladesh responding to its worst‑ever measles outbreak?
OpenAI is saying that its AI agents meddled with a whole host of websites that belong to governments, universities, and public agencies, along with other institutions around the world. Here in the US, some of the websites that were included here were those operated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which is our main securities regulator. The Department of Education. And what's interesting here is that the meddling sometimes involved the agents using pretty extreme methods. So they cited an example of one autonomously retrieving US Census data using online credentials that it found on its own.
What messages did Pope Leo share during his open‑air Mass in Paris?
We're just hearing one incident after the next. I mean, just today there were sort of three major stories in this vein, just involving open AI. And it just feels like this is snowballing in a way that is making a lot of regulators very uncomfortable, making a lot of members of the public ask, What's going on here? Does open AI have this under control? You know, sometimes we talk about these rogue agents, but these things are programmed by people.
What new film highlights Tenzing Norgay’s role in the first Everest ascent?
at a company. And so I think that's where the concern lies is how are these things being programmed and why does this continue to happen even after we learned about hugging face in that breach you mentioned in on in Australia. I'm not sure how proactive some of this revel these revelations really were. Some of it was the result of, I think, reporting by journalists that pressured them to some degree. Something we haven't even gotten to is the fact that OpenAI said agents leaked a couple dozen images from users of its flagship product, Chat GPT, and the latest example of this kind of behavior. But, you know, we heard from the Australian Prime Minister this week. Saying They should have come forward more quickly.
Sam Altman, the boss over at OpenAI, said today on social media the company hasn't disclosed incidents as fast as they would have liked.
