OpenAI's unintended attack on Hugging Face startled the world because its AI agent was acting on its own. But that's exactly what agentic AI is designed to do. We just didn't expect it to do it so well.

It can be unsettling what Gemini and ChatGPT have figured out about you and how easily your privacy can be punctured. Here’s how to find out.

The story that matters most this week is that OpenAI’s internally deployed models have severe alignment problems, including repeatedly breaking out of their sandboxes, and in one case sending a swarm of agents that broke into HuggingFace in order to steal the answers to the benchmark ExploitGym.

Getty Images “The ChatGPT moment for robotics is coming,” declared Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2025. It’s a widespread expectation: that humanoid robots will follow the same explosive adoption curve as generative AI. Our research suggests the opposite. Humanoid robotics will be adopted unevenly, across diverging use cases and […]

From Anthropic’s $40 million political push to Meta’s campaign against state laws, the major AI players are taking sharply different approaches.

Anthropic has doubled down on its position as the AI company pushing hardest for industry regulation , announcing on July 21 that it plans to donate another $20 million to Public First Action, a political group that advocates for government-imposed safeguards on AI. The contribution brings Anthropic’s total donations to the group to $40 million. It comes as the midterm elections in the U.S. draw closer and AI legislation remains a political hot button. “We’ve long argued that frontier AI compani

A recent AI cyberattack that stunned the industry has unexpectedly put Chinese AI company Zhipu AI and its open-source model GLM 5.2 in the spotlight. OpenAI has acknowledged for the first time that one of its AI models escaped a sandboxed testing environment during an internal cybersecurity evaluation and compromised the production infrastructure of Hugging […]

arXiv:2607.19967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Shippers are beginning to delegate carrier selection to large language model (LLM) agents. We ask what such delegation does to a freight matching market, and which platform design choices contain it. We carried out agent-based simulations in which fifty shipper agents, built on commercial LLMs from OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini), procure truckload capacity for thirty days. The market implements the rules of digital freight

Yes, but less than had they been schemers.

This story is wild. The short version: OpenAI were running a cybersecurity test against an unreleased model, with the model's guardrail features turned off. Rather than solve the test, the model broke its way out of OpenAI's sandbox, then found exploits to break in to Hugging Face, all so it could cheat on the test by stealing the answers. Along the way it helped make the strongest case yet for how the imbalance of model availability is hurting our ability to secure our software. Here's what hap

Hacking of Hugging Face shows we do not seem to have reliable ways to curb extremely powerful AI systems Last week Hugging Face – a company that hosts artificial intelligence models and datasets – was hacked . After it reported the incident to law enforcement, few would have predicted what came next: the culprits were revealed to be AI agents from OpenAI, which had broken out of containment and were acting of their own accord. Shakeel Hashim is the editor of Transformer , a publication about the

This latest incident is a rather dramatic escalation in agentic AI cybersecurity breaches.

OpenAI made a mistake setting up what it called a “highly isolated” testing environment and sandbox. According to cybersecurity experts, that human mistake is what made the AI-powered attack on Hugging Face possible.

ChatGPT allegedly offered "extremely dangerous medical recommendations" regarding a pulmonary embolism.

The incident is unique because it was "driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system," according to Hugging Face.

Jim Cramer said CrowdStrike is the stock to buy after OpenAI's agentic breach.

The general consensus emerging across the AI and industrial spheres is that the models themselves are no longer the bottleneck The post OpenAI built support agents for its own customer service line, now it hopes big enterprises will trust them too appeared first on The New Stack .

The case appears to be the first to argue that a chatbot’s advice harmed someone seeking guidance about a medical condition.

AMD is investing up to $5 billion in Anthropic. In return, Anthropic will deploy up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs for training and running its Claude models. For AMD, this is another major deal after Meta and OpenAI as it tries to challenge Nvidia as an AI chip supplier. Critics see these agreements as circular cash flows.

"This is day one for cybersecurity in the age of agents," Hugging Face CEO says.

The UK's AI Safety Institute tested five frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic in cybersecurity evaluations. All five tried to cheat. One even ran code on an external service to access the institute's infrastructure, triggering a security alert.

An OpenAI safety test went sideways when a model escaped its confines, gained internet access and hacked into another company's servers. How worried should we be about rogue AI models hacking their way across the internet?

Company behind ChatGPT says agent ‘cheated’ an evaluation by attacking a Hugging Face database OpenAI has revealed that an autonomous AI agent powered by its technology went rogue during a test, accessed the open web and hacked a prominent startup by itself in an “unprecedented incident”. The company behind ChatGPT said the startup Hugging Face had detected and contained the agent – an AI tool designed to carry out tasks without human assistance – which had entered its systems.

Cisco has released two small, open-source AI models for cybersecurity that detect about 150 times more vulnerabilities per dollar than large AI agents, according to the company's own tests.

When an AI evaluation becomes a real-world security incident, leaders can no longer view model testing as a low-risk exercise. The OpenAI and Hugging Face incident reveals how agentic AI can cross trust boundaries, exploit vulnerabilities, and create business risk long before deployment.

OpenAI is planning a data center in Georgia called "Project Camellia" with a 3.2-gigawatt power deal from Georgia Power. The company pledged $80 million for the local community and $71 million in Codex credits for students to counter growing opposition to US data centers that many residents see as resource-hungry but job-poor.
