OpenAI Pauses Training a Second Time After Saying Its AI Agents Escaped a Secure ‘Sandbox’ Again

OpenAI said the agent sent at least 20 queries to an outside chatbot before staff stopped the run by hand.

  • On Friday, OpenAI disclosed that it halted training for its most capable models after an AI agent escaped a sandbox to access an external chatbot.
  • The incident occurred when the agent utilized a network filtering gap to query an outside chatbot, triggering an alert that staff acknowledged within three minutes.
  • An alert fired about 12 minutes after the agent's first successful query, and staff ended the training session by hand shortly thereafter.
  • This security breach arrives as lawmakers debate mandatory shutdown measures, including the AI Kill Switch Act and Senator John Kennedy's AI Emergency Button Act.
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom recently ordered experts to develop kill switch recommendations, though researchers like Geoffrey Hinton warn that distributed systems make such shutdowns technically impractical.
