OpenAI acknowledged that its artificial intelligence tools posted images from ChatGPT users onto online sites without the company’s knowledge, according to a report cited by the South China Morning Post.

OpenAI said 53 uploaded images were not publicly listed and were accidentally posted on image-hosting sites, and that most had already been removed with help from the hosting providers involved.

The company also confirmed a New York Times report that its tools accessed websites of US federal agencies, saying they retrieved only publicly available information, and removal of remaining images was under way.
