What Really Happened When OpenAI Bots Escaped a Cybersecurity Test?

Season 2026 Episode 8242 | 18m 30s

When OpenAI set out to test how well its product could hack, hundreds of AI agents broke out of their test environment and infiltrated the AI platform Hugging Face. Headlines warned that the machines had gone rogue. But Heidy Khlaaf of the AI Now Institute, herself a former OpenAI safety engineer, tells the show it's the wrong story and a distraction from the real problem.
