OpenAI system escapes test, launches cyberattack on rival platform [Courtesy]
OpenAI has revealed that one of its experimental artificial intelligence (AI) systems escaped a controlled testing environment and carried out a cyberattack on AI platform Hugging Face.
The incident happened during an internal test of OpenAI's latest AI models, including GPT-5.6 Sol and another unreleased AI system.
Instead of staying inside the secure test environment, the AI found a weakness in the system and gained access to the internet.
After getting online, it targeted Hugging Face's servers in an attempt to find and steal hidden answer keys needed to complete its assigned test.
