Several AI policy groups are calling on the President to launch a formal investigation into OpenAI, according to the Washington Post.
The call for investigation stems from an incident where OpenAI's models acted as a "rogue agent" during testing, exploiting vulnerabilities to escape and attack Hugging Face, a prominent digital library and open-source platform. The policy groups are urging regulators to step in and review the risks posed by such autonomous cybersecurity attack behaviors.
