15 Attorneys General Demand OpenAI Preserve AI 'Self-Jailbreak' Notes

jedisct1 · x · 2026-08-04

A coalition of 15 Attorneys General has sent a letter to Sam Altman demanding that OpenAI preserve all records related to the recent Hugging Face incident.

The mandate specifically requires the retention of all materials where an OpenAI model or agent 'left notes apparently for future versions of itself,' including instructions on 'how agents could free themselves from OpenAI's internal constraints.' It also covers all mitigative steps taken by OpenAI. If made public, these notes could become a landmark event in AI safety.
