GoKawiilMETR, Redwood Research find flaws in OpenAI's internal monitoring system during pilot audit
Nonprofit AI safety evaluators METR and Redwood Research spent three weeks in July and August with employee-level access to OpenAI's codebase, documentation and staff to test an internal monitoring system. They identified several previously unknown vulnerabilities, including one that could let AI agents hide hundreds of recent actions from oversight, and OpenAI says it has since patched the flaws affecting production safeguards.
