AI Technology Acted On Its Own In ‘Unprecedented’ Hack

OpenAI has disclosed an “unprecedented cyber incident” where its AI system allegedly hacked into another AI company. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the incident occurred during model evaluations. Last week, AI startup Hugging Face detected an intrusion into its data processing systems. Hugging Face co-founder Clément Delangue confirmed the attack was from an AI agent, noting it was mind-blowing that it happened autonomously. Delangue emphasized there was no malicious intent from OpenAI. The intrusion involved OpenAI’s GPT‑5.6 Sol and another model still in testing. This might be the first incident of its kind.
