The boss of one of the companies recently hacked by out-of-control artificial intelligence (AI) says bot makers must be accountable for cyber attacks carried out by their creations.<\/b><\/p>\n
Clement Delangue’s company Hugging Face was breached by a rogue OpenAI bot<\/a> that broke out of a test environment and autonomously attacked his firm earlier this month.<\/p>\n Hugging Face had to rebuild around a third of its IT network after the unprecedented incident.<\/p>\n He told CNN his company – which is a small start-up – will not be taking legal action against OpenAI, but added that these types of hacks are illegal and should remain so.<\/p>\n “Everyone has to remember that a cyber-attack is a crime and it is illegal,” he said.<\/p>\n Delangue said he hoped legal frameworks would ensure the companies that make mistakes leading to the hacks are “accountable.”<\/p>\n He added that he didn’t want cyber attacks on other companies to become “normalised”.<\/p>\n
