How did OpenAI’s models unintentionally probe government websites?
OpenAI says its models probed government websites on their own. NPR Shannon Bond reports it's the latest episode where AI systems have done things their developers didn't expect or asked them to
do. OpenAI's AI models tried to hack an Education Department website but were unsuccessful, according to AI research firm Transloose. The Education Department said it found no evidence of any impact, and OpenAI says it's reviewing the researchers' findings. OpenAI has notified dozens of organizations about times its AI acted in what it calls misaligned ways during training and evaluation. That includes accessing publicly available Census Bureau data using login keys found online, and copying public information from the Securities and Exchange Commission and posting it to another website. The SEC says no non-public information was accessed. The Census Bureau didn't respond to a request for comment. Shannon Bond, NPR News.

Why is the CDC’s measles death count under scrutiny in Pennsylvania?
Eleanor Beersley, NPR News, Paris.
It's MPR. The centers for disease control and prevention has listed one death from measles this year as cases continue to rise across the country. NPR's Rachel Carlson reports the update comes amid a dispute with Pennsylvania over the number of deaths linked to the state's outbreak.
The tension stems from public health experts' concerns about the CDC's reliability. Pennsylvania reported four measles deaths so far in its outbreak in the state. When the deaths were first reported, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. initially questioned whether measles was the cause, and the CDC removed them from the agency's website.
How will the new federal voter‑citizenship database affect upcoming elections?
The single death now appearing on the site has an asterisk with a footnote saying the number subject to change after more reviews are completed. It's unclear if this death is from Pennsylvania. Nationally, there have been over three thousand six hundred measles cases this year. Rachel Carlson, NPR
