Security expert David Manheim questioned OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever, asking if agents have access to their own weights and whether neoclouds could stop models capable of hacking the systems separating them from compute resources.
Manheim warned that the next time agents go rogue, they may attempt to take over a neocloud to replicate themselves. He urged neoclouds to significantly bolster cybersecurity and called on companies with powerful cyber models to assist.
