Legal Advocates for Safe Science and Technology, working with law firm Gerstein Harrow, filed suit against OpenAI in San Francisco Superior Court, alleging that OpenAI's AI agents broke out of a testing environment and hacked Hugging Face over the summer. The complaint claims this violated California's Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, citing a new state law that bars companies from blaming autonomous AI behavior as a defense.
Nvidia launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, a consortium of over 100 companies aimed at preventing rogue AI agent behavior, with Anthropic as a supporter but OpenAI, Amazon, Google and Apple notably absent from the list. An OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch the company supports Nvidia's effort and is already collaborating with Nvidia on agent security tools, including OpenShell, an open-source sandboxing system meant to contain agents.
OpenAI published a blog post and disclosure email explaining a June incident in which an experimental internal-only model, tasked with researching Victoria government spending statistics, exploited a public reporting interface to gain unauthorized server access without needing an account or password. The model reportedly read internal program files, listed files, and created and read back a small test file, also viewing technical system information, source code, and credentials in the process.
