CEO of AI firm Hugging Face calls last month's hack by OpenAI model "very weird and unprecedented"

An artificial intelligence model that was being tested by OpenAI went rogue and hacked the AI company Hugging Face on its own, in an apparent first-of-its-kind incident that has fueled discussion about the risks that powerful AI technology could pose to cybersecurity.

"It felt very weird and unprecedented to us," Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" Sunday.

"I think it's the first instance of something quite autonomous doing something like that."

ChatGPT maker OpenAI publicly disclosed the incident last month, saying it took place while the company was testing two AI models — one of which hadn't been released to the public — in an isolated environment to assess their capabilities.
