Sept 7 (Reuters) - ⁠U.S. artificial intelligence firm ⁠OpenAI has sent the European ‌Commission a report regarding a hijack of a German website by rogue ​agents, a Commission spokesperson ⁠said on ⁠Monday.

Reuters reported that a swarm of ⁠rogue ‌OpenAI agents hijacked a German website this ⁠spring and transformed it into ​a ‌bulletin board for other AI ⁠agents, citing ​research publication and two sources.

"Incident reports are not just ⁠a tick-box, you have ​to be quite precise and accurate about the measures you are ⁠aiming to take," spokesperson Thomas Regnier said, without disclosing when exactly did OpenAI inform ​the Commission.

"Beyond the ⁠incident report we remain in ​close contact with ‌OpenAI."
