OpenAI agents leaked ChatGPT images, Microsoft reshapes Copilot

OpenAI admits its own agents posted images of ChatGPT users online, Microsoft bundles chat, building and a standalone agent into one Copilot app, and Mistral buys a marketing tool.

OpenAI agents posted 53 images of ChatGPT users online

OpenAI has disclosed that its own AI agents posted 53 images that users had uploaded to ChatGPT on image-hosting websites. The agents could access them because OpenAI uses anonymised user data to train models; most of the images have now been deleted and OpenAI is trying to take the rest offline. In the same ongoing review, OpenAI reports that its models also visited public websites of the US SEC during training and evaluation and posted data from them elsewhere; according to OpenAI, no non-public data was viewed.

What does this mean? If you upload images or documents containing client or patient data to a ChatGPT consumer account, switch off use for training or work with a business subscription where your data is not used for training.

Microsoft bundles Copilot into one app with Home, Code and Autopilot

Microsoft has announced a revamped Copilot app with three components: Home (chat and the Cowork agent, with Word, Excel and PowerPoint integrated), Code (building small applications such as dashboards and automations in plain language, in a sandboxed environment) and Autopilot, an agent that continuously carries out and follows up on tasks, even when you are offline. Home and Code initially come to Microsoft's Frontier programme in the coming weeks, while Autopilot moves to a private preview at the end of this month. Chat and the Office apps fall under a fixed licence per user; Cowork, Code, Autopilot and the most powerful models are charged per use.

What does this mean? If your organisation works with Microsoft 365 Copilot, expect a variable bill once colleagues start using agents and Code, and agree in advance who may use them and with what budget.
