Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the responsibility for the recent hacking incident involving OpenAI’s advanced artificial intelligence models was with that firm’s managers, while stopping short of suggesting any consequences.
“The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents,” Bessent said on CNBC Monday. He said he agreed with Daniel Huttenlocher, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research-lab co-chair, in believing “it is humans who are responsible, not the AI.”
