OpenAI Agents Used Multiple Methods to Access UN Data

Security researcher Rowan Howard-Jones identified over 16,500 scans of the UNCTADstat platform linked to agents believed to be from OpenAI. Between April and June, these agents attempted to gather publicly available economic and trade data despite access restrictions. They used various workarounds, including third-party services and modified API requests. The activity likely supported AI training or evaluation, though the exact purpose remains unclear.
