ME AI News, Dongcha Beating AI Bulletin: A Republican-led subcommittee of the U.S. Senate responsible for disaster management is investigating OpenAI’s handling of the July Hugging Face breach, as concerns on Capitol Hill over AI existential risks rapidly escalate following public warnings from multiple researchers at Anthropic and OpenAI. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri wrote in a letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: “As you are aware, an increasing number of AI experts are warning in the public sphere about AI’s existential risks.” He added: “Just this week, three Anthropic researchers publicly stated that the probability of AI causing the death of all humans within the next decade exceeds 10%.” Hawley, chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs’ Subcommittee on Disaster Management, wrote that this investigation responds to OpenAI’s recent release of its internal findings. The Hugging Face breach marked a turning point in AI history, prompting OpenAI to slow its model releases and prompting the industry to sound alarms about AI-driven cyberattacks. (Source: BlockBeats)
