OpenAI bots meddled with multiple US government agency sites

Weekend

Available for 29 days

OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, says it has warned dozens of institutions that their websites may have been affected by improper activity from its AI bots. Also in the programme: world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly, the annual forum for tackling the world's most pressing challenges. And the conflict in Yemen has sharply escalated. Iranian-backed Houthi forces have made gains along the west coast, disrupting global shipping, while Saudi Arabia has responded with hundreds of air strikes. Presenter Krupa Padhy discusses these stories with panellists Maha El Dahan, Gulf Bureau Chief for Reuters, based in Dubai, and Aanu Adeoye, the acting global pharmaceuticals correspondent for the Financial Times based in London.
