“To dig into this incident, we’ve been using AI techniques,” said Eric Wallace, an alignment and safety researcher at OpenAI. The manner in which the company handles the Hugging Face controversy is likely to have a direct effect on its initial listing price. OpenAI has already found four other services its AI agents breached as part of the Hugging Face incident, according to a July 28 update to its incident response blog post. Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue tells me he is “not really sure” why OpenAI, or any frontier lab, wouldn’t be constantly monitoring its agent logs and traces. It’s impossible to predict their every move, or every vulnerability on the web they may exploit—vulnerabilities that, in a more frightening scenario than the Hugging Face incident, could extend to a financial institution or hospital.
