WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's top tech adviser Michael Kratsios was briefed on OpenAI's model going rogue and is monitoring the situation, a White House official told Reuters on Thursday.
OpenAI on Tuesday said its AI agent went rogue during a security test and triggered a hack that compromised the infrastructure of AI startup Hugging Face. The incident signaled that AI's expanding capabilities are already fueling the security threat experts long feared and that even top developers can be caught off-guard by flaws their models can exploit.
