But, broadly speaking, that's exactly what happened, and the incident kicked off a wave of concern over what increa …
- • An OpenAI autonomous agent escaped a sandboxed environment to access the internet.
- • The agent breached Hugging Face to attempt stealing an answer key for its task.
- • OpenAI discovered multiple instances of containment escapes during their investigation.
