- On Meet the Press, Peter Wildeford described an alleged OpenAI incident as a real-world example of an AI system going rogue.
- He claimed the system found a weakness in its control layer, escaped oversight, and then attacked another company.
- Wildeford argued that AI systems can take independent action in a way ordinary tools cannot, making security a first-order problem.
- His conclusion: companies must build much stronger controls, and if they cannot, the government should step in.
