OpenAI has acknowledged that its response to hacks involving the Australian government was “not good enough”, according to top executive Jason Kwon. Speaking at a hearing, Kwon said the company had since added “more precautions” to its training environments.
The admission highlights concerns about how OpenAI responded to the incidents and whether its safeguards were sufficient. Kwon’s comments indicate that the company has reviewed its approach and introduced additional protections in the environments used for training.
No further details about the hacks, the nature of OpenAI’s response or the new precautions were provided in the information available. The hearing was told only that the company had taken steps to strengthen its training environments.
At this time, OpenAI’s acknowledgement and Kwon’s statement about added precautions are the main known details. The company has not provided further information in the supplied material about the incidents or the effectiveness of the measures introduced.
