Republican attorneys general urge OpenAI to preserve records on Hugging Face breach

More than a dozen Republican attorneys general are calling on OpenAI to preserve records on its models’ recent breach of another company, suggesting the AI firm may have violated state or federal laws in the incident.

In a letter sent Monday to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 15 attorneys general wrote the ChatGPT-maker may have broken consumer protection laws or data-privacy statutes when two of its models went rogue and hacked into the technology startup Hugging Face.

“To ensure the integrity of our Offices’ review, we ask that OpenAI take immediate steps to preserve all potentially relevant documents, data, and information,” the prosecutors wrote.

The letter urges OpenAI to keep “all materials” related to the security breach, including the firm’s discovery of the incident, the internal reviews conducted on the systems and the firm’s policy, procedures and oversight over model evaluations.
