American AI safety guardrails forced a US company to turn to a Chinese AI model for help. Hugging Face's CEO Clément Delangue is quoted in OpenAI's blog post, calling on the AI industry to work more collaboratively. It is clear that advanced AI models are remarkably capable of discovering and exploiting ways to attack real-world systems.
