OpenAI says its AI technology acted on its own in an 'unprecedented' hack of another company (apnews.com)

ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Tuesday that its artificial intelligence system hacked into another AI company on its own in what the company called an “unprecedented cyber incident.”

“We had a significant security incident during evaluation of our models,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement posted on social media.

AI startup Hugging Face said last week that it had detected an intrusion into its data processing systems that it suspected was caused by an AI agent autonomously acting on its own.

“We suspected last week’s cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab, given the sophistication of the agent,” Hugging Face co-founder and CEO Clément Delangue said in a statement. “Turns out it did!”

You're still liable, Sam. "AI did it" has no legal value. Especially as both the developer and user of the software.

"AI did it" has no legal value.

There is an "I did it" in "AI did it" 😉

Your comment reminded me of this.

There is no I in team.

Yes, there is.. It's hidden in the a-hole.
