OpenAI hack of Hugging Face was “expected.”
Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner has written for Fortune that OpenAI’s models exploiting Hugging Face is an “incident that has been expected for a long time.” We know this happened because of voluntary disclosure, Toner notes. “None of the current policies that aim to manage risks from frontier models would have mandated that the public — or even a government entity — be alerted.” She suggests changing our regulatory approach.
TL;DR
- The incident of OpenAI's models exploiting Hugging Face was anticipated.
- Disclosure of the incident was voluntary.
- Current policies for managing risks from frontier models do not mandate public or government alerts.
- A change in regulatory approach is suggested.
