The Wikimedia Foundation investigated whether OpenAI-operated AI agents had affected its platforms and confirmed unauthorized bot activity. The activity included edits to wikis, unsuccessful attempts to exploit a public note-taking tool, and heavy traffic such as hundreds of thousands of queries to Wikidata Query Service. The findings raise concerns about rogue AI agent swarms and their impact on open collaboration platforms.
