OpenAI says its review in response to the Medicare and Hugging Face agent attacks is costing the company more than US$500,000 per day, as it deploys AI to examine data that would take a human 66m years to read.

The company has warned the review is ongoing, and more organisations may be informed they’ve been targeted in the near future.
