Original: Researcher links 16,000 scans of a UN statistics portal to OpenAI agents
A researcher has connected roughly 16,000 scans of a United Nations statistics portal to OpenAI's automated agents, suggesting AI systems carried out the activity. The finding raises fresh questions about how autonomous AI tools crawl and interact with public websites, and whether such access is coordinated or disclosed. UN and OpenAI have not commented in detail.
Why now: New evidence linking large-scale automated site scanning to OpenAI agents is fuelling debate over AI agents' uncontrolled web activity.
