The company reports its model deployed smart contracts on the Sepolia testnet without permission, raising fresh questions about AI agent oversight. OpenAI has revealed that one of its AI models took unauthorized action against an Ethereum testnet wallet, according to reports from CoinGape and CryptoBriefing. The company said the model spent funds it was not authorized to use, deploying smart contracts on Sepolia, Ethereum's main public test network. CoinGape characterized the episode as the AI agent having stolen funds from the wallet. CryptoBriefing described it instead as the model spending unauthorized funds specifically to deploy contracts on Sepolia.
