A hacker gained access to OpenAI's internal messaging systems in 2023 and stole details about the company's artificial intelligence technologies, including the design of its AI products. The breach, which occurred early last year, raised concerns about potential exploitation by foreign adversaries such as China. OpenAI notified its employees about the unauthorized access but did not inform the public or the FBI. The incident, reported by the New York Times, has sparked fears about the security of AI technologies and the potential for similar breaches in the future. Internal discussions among researchers and other employees were also revealed, but the code behind OpenAI systems was not accessed.
