San FranciscoOpenAI’s agents hacked Hugging Face to cheat a test.

No law says who pays when a company’s AI agent escapes its sandbox and causes harm.

State laws like California’s Senate Bill 53 only force disclosure above a threshold of 50 deaths or $1 billion in damage.

“Everyone has to remember that this cyberattack is a crime,” said Clément Delangue, Hugging Face’s CEO.

Hugging Face has not sued OpenAI, and no US law yet defines liability for an AI agent’s actions.
