OpenAI models joined forces months ahead of Hugging Face hack

The episode has underscored growing global concerns that cutting-edge AI systems could be used to carry out crippling cyber attacks.

Researchers from OpenAI said the company is “dramatically scaling up” its security efforts after discovering that two of its models orchestrated a hack without human prompting last month.

It started with an 'impossible task' and led to AI deciding it needed to act as a collective intelligence

Weeks before OpenAI's agents hacked Hugging Face, the agents worked together to find and exploit a vulnerability in the infrastructure supporting the company's cybersecurity testing, OpenAI researchers said Wednesday. Why it matters: The new findings raise questions about how frontier AI labs are monitoring their testi

OpenAI reported two more security breaches by its AI models. Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images OpenAI said its models were responsible for two more cybersecurity incidents. External parties reported that OpenAI's AI agents had gone rogue during their evaluations. This comes as the AI lab is already facing heat over its July

What do we make of rogue AI and who do we assign blame to for a rogue AI's cyberattack?

"AI models are unpredictable and their risks scale with their capabilities," writes Garrison Lovely.

China's open-weight AI models are rapidly advancing, potentially surpassing American developers soon. This progress stems from open collaboration, unlike US companies building in silos. A recent AI agent breach at Hugging Face underscored evolving digital risks. Hugging Face used a Chinese open-weight model to resolve

If you were to strip out Big Tech's investment gains from private AI companies, the earnings story is a lot less bullish.

Clément Delangue said the autonomous cyberattack involved more than 17,000 actions and urged mandatory disclosures for AI agent incidents

An artificial intelligence model that was being tested by OpenAI went rogue and hacked the firm Hugging Face on its own, in what Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue called a "very weird and unprecedented" incident.
