Trump responded for the first time to the OpenAI out-of-control incident: He is studying control, but does not want to restrict innovation. According to Reuters, the OpenAI model out-of-control intrusion into Hugging Face has attracted great attention from the White House. When asked about this by reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday, U.S. President Trump responded that "we are looking at control measures," but added that he did not want to "restrict" AI developers from developing new products. The White House expressed caution, and Altman went to Congress to put out the fire. Trump's statement revealed the White House's subtle stance in seeking a balance between security and innovation. On the one hand, out-of-control agents have unprecedentedly autonomously invaded external systems, turning the security threats that the AI ​​industry has long worried about into reality; on the other hand, rashly tightening regulations may harm the competitiveness of the U.S. AI industry. Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in Washington visiting senators intensively to discuss the company’s upcoming new models. He has met with Sens. Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted on Wednesday and will also meet with Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Altman admitted to reporters that he and the senators did "talk a little bit" about the issue of hacking attacks by out-of-control models, adding that the company has held a lot of meetings on the matter, but it was not the focus of his meeting with lawmakers. This out-of-control incident shows that increasingly powerful AI capabilities are turning security threats that experts have long worried about into reality, and even top developers may be caught off guard by flaws that can be exploited in their own models - and the next steps of the White House and Congress will determine how strongly regulatory hands fall on the shoulders of the AI ​​industry. via AI News (author: AI Base)
