Treasury Secretary Bessent blames OpenAI management for Hugging Face hack, rejects liability exemption
ns123abc · x · 2026-09-21
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly pinned the Hugging Face incident on OpenAI management rather than agents: "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI." He rejected the liability exemption AI labs are seeking, arguing the best way to guarantee safety is to hold creators liable for what they build and generate — a clear stance in the central policy fight over AI liability.
