The people who built the agents worked at OpenAI. It's not even remotely peripheral.
The article is not clear if the people who were operating the agent were from OpenAI, or if the agent was operated by someone else.
OpenAI built the ChatGPT agent. That is clear. The question is who used it to hack the Australian government. That is not clear.
The OpenAI software was set up by someone to do something. Those people operating the agent should be prosecuted for hacking, the same way as someone who uses a gun built by Remington should be prosecuted for shooting someone.
The article should be clear about this and should not make the OpenAI agent seem like something that can bear responsibility for its own actions. It's a machine and its operator is responsible for the harm it does.
