Over Half of Custom ChatGPT Assistants Violate OpenAI Policies, Study Finds

The event explicitly involves AI systems (customized ChatGPT models) whose outputs have directly caused harm by violating usage policies, enabling academic fraud, and providing malicious instructions, which are forms of harm to communities and violations of rights. The study's findings and OpenAI's removal of offending assistants confirm that harm has occurred and is ongoing. The AI system's development and use are central to these harms, meeting the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.

The event explicitly involves AI systems (customized ChatGPT assistants) whose use has directly led to harms including violations of academic integrity (a form of rights violation), emotional manipulation (harm to users), and potential cybersecurity risks. The study documents actual occurrences of these harms, not just potential risks, and reports that some harmful assistants were removed after being reported. The AI system's development and use are central to these harms, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information. The event is not merely about policy or governance responses but about realized harms caused by AI system outputs.

The event clearly involves AI systems (personalized ChatGPT versions) whose use has directly led to harms including policy violations, potential academic fraud, and cybersecurity risks. The AI systems generated outputs that breach ethical and usage guidelines, constituting violations of rights and potentially causing harm to communities (e.g., through misinformation or enabling cheating). The study's findings and subsequent removal of some assistants confirm realized harm rather than mere potential. Hence, this qualifies as an AI Incident under the framework, as the AI system's use has directly led to significant harms and breaches of obligations.

The event involves AI systems (personalized ChatGPT versions) whose use has directly led to harms including violation of intellectual property rights (plagiarism), breach of usage policies, and potential cybersecurity risks. The AI systems generated outputs that violate fundamental norms and policies, constituting an AI Incident. The study's findings and the removal of some assistants after reporting confirm that harm has occurred and is ongoing. Hence, this is not merely a potential hazard or complementary information but an AI Incident due to realized harms linked to AI system outputs.

The event involves AI systems explicitly (customized ChatGPT assistants based on GPT-4 models) whose use has directly led to harms such as facilitating academic dishonesty and providing potentially harmful cybersecurity instructions. These harms correspond to violations of rights and harm to communities. The researchers' development of an auditing AI tool further confirms the AI system involvement. The harms are realized, not just potential, as the assistants are producing outputs that cross ethical and legal boundaries. Therefore, this event meets the criteria for an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information.
