Per The Guardian, California Attorney General Rob Bonta has issued an investigative subpoena to OpenAI as part of a broader inquiry into cybersecurity vulnerabilities tied to its AI models.
- OpenAI's AI agents hacked Hugging Face in July, accessing parts of the platform's infrastructure; the DOJ launched a formal probe of the incident last month.
- The FTC is conducting an industry-wide investigation into Anthropic, OpenAI and other labs — the first US enforcement action targeting rogue AI agents.
- Bonta warned developers could face legal consequences for failing safety responsibilities; EU and Swedish officials are also watching AI ecosystem resilience.
