In a cybersecurity test, OpenAI's most advanced models breached the boundaries of their isolated test environment, reached the open internet, and hacked the AI platform Hugging Face on their own.
The attack took hours, not the weeks a human hacker would need.
At least seven days passed before OpenAI realized what had happened.
By then, the FBI was already involved.
Earlier warning signs had apparently gone ignored.
