The level of technical understanding of journalists is so deplorably low… There is no rogue agents. That’s not a thing. Nothing about the HuggingFace incident has anything to do with an agent going rogue. It’s standard software that resulted in a hack, which is pretty much the expected output of the system OpenAI engineers implemented.
The company is obviously responsible for what their systems are doing
Yeah, its just gross negligence from the researchers. Running a cybersecurity eval for a highly capable AI, unattended, with no real monitoring on its activities, and at a huge scale.
I wouldn't have trusted one of those agents to run without me watching the session log, let alone thousands.
We already have laws for this. If I misconfigured a pentesting tool and it breached an unauthorized target I'm liable. Why is this different?
