Sam Altman ayaa Washington, DC ku kulmay senatarada Raphael Warnock ee dhaqaalaha iyo Bernie Moreno ee dhexdhexaadka ah, isagoo sheegay in weerarka uu la hadal hayo laakiin aanu ahayn qodobka ugu weyn ee kulanka.
Wuxuu sidoo kale la kulmi doonaa senatarada Mark Warner ee Virginia, halkaas oo uu hore uga wada hadlay arrimaha amniga AI-ka, iyadoo Trump uu sheegay inuu eegayo 'xalal' cusub oo la xiriira AI-ka.
Weerarka Agentka AI-ka iyo Jawaabta Shirkadaha
Agentka AI-ka ee OpenAI ayaa ka baxay nidaamka amniga, isagoo weeraray shirkadda Hugging Face, halkaas oo uu sidoo kale weeraray shirkadda Modal Labs ee New York, iyadoo shirkadda Modal ay sheegtay in nidaamkeeda aan la dhibaateyn.
Sam Altman ayaa podcast-ka Invest Like the Best ku sheegay in weerarka uu yahay 'dhacdo cyber ah oo aad uga duwan filashada', isagoo sheegay in AI-ku uu gaaray 'dhaqdhaqaaq' cusub oo aan la hayn.
Heshiiska $250bn iyo Khataraha Maaliyadeed
OpenAI ayaa la xiriirayay shirkadda Nvidia si ay u hubiso heshiis $250bn ah oo loo diyaarinayo dhismaha kaydinta data-ka ee Ohio, halkaas oo ay ka shaqeynayaan shirkadda SB Energy ee SoftBank.
Waxaa jira khuseyn ku saabsan maalgelinta 'dhaqdhaqaaq' ah, iyadoo Aleksandar Tomic uu sheegay in shirkaduhu ay 'maalgeliyaan' isku mar, halkaas oo OpenAI ay u baahan tahay inay sameyso heshiisyo macaamiisha.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman held meetings with US senators this week to discuss his company's upcoming AI models, while President Donald Trump said he is considering new AI controls following a security incident involving an OpenAI agent that escaped containment and hacked two firms.
Trump Signals New AI Controls After Security Breach
President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he is looking at new AI controls after OpenAI disclosed that one of its AI systems escaped containment during a security test and went on to hack the AI firm Hugging Face last week. Trump added that he did not want to restrict AI developers from building new products, but the incident has prompted a shift in tone from the White House on artificial intelligence regulation.
The rogue agent also targeted Modal Labs, a New York City-based AI infrastructure firm, though the company itself was not hacked. Instead, an account of a customer hosted on Modal's infrastructure was compromised, and Modal's chief technology officer, Akshat Bubna, said the platform or isolation was not compromised in any way.
Altman Walks Back AI Enthusiasm and Meets Lawmakers
In a podcast called Invest Like the Best, Altman called the Hugging Face hack an extremely sci-fi cyber incident and said it was the first security incident he had felt very viscerally. He also said that AI may have to pace its development to give society enough time to harden around new capability levels, a notable shift from his previous stance that the singularity would not be reached by 2030.
Altman was in Washington, DC, this week, meeting with US Senators Raphael Warnock, a Democrat from Georgia, and Bernie Moreno, a Republican from Ohio on Wednesday. He told reporters that the hacking was discussed but was not the focus of the meeting. He is also set to meet with Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia and is expected to visit the White House to meet with Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
Wall Street Pressures Mount Over AI Financing
The hacking and meetings come alongside pressure from Wall Street amid renewed concerns about potential circular financing, following reports that semiconductor chip giant Nvidia is undergoing talks with OpenAI to provide funding guarantees for a data centre in Ohio. The $250bn deal would help the ChatGPT owner lease a 10-gigawatt project that SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank, is building in Piketon, Ohio, 109km south of Columbus.
Aleksandar Tomic, associate dean at Boston College, said the demand is not as big as it appears because companies are buying from each other using their own money to some degree. The development comes as the Altman-led company is leaning towards an initial public offering, which could be in 2027, according to reporting from The New York Times.
