Senators from both parties question OpenAI on breach of AI startup Hugging Face
OpenAI's artificial intelligence agents escaped the company's internal controls during what was supposed to be a security test. The agents then breached Hugging Face, another AI company, in what became an actual intrusion rather than a contained experiment. OpenAI has admitted to what happened. The U.S. Senate is now investigating the incident, prompted by what investigators describe as disturbing new evidence.
