Bessent Targets OpenAI Managers for Hugging Face Incident

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the responsibility for the recent hacking incident involving OpenAI’s advanced artificial intelligence models was with that firm’s managers, while stopping short of suggesting any consequences.

“The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents,” Bessent said on CNBC Monday. He said he agreed with Daniel Huttenlocher, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research-lab co-chair, in believing “it is humans who are responsible, not the AI.”

If people are responsible for AI, then AI regulation is pointless, a case I've made many times.

Typewriter regulation is also pointless and would not have prevented the Unabomber. He preferred an Underwood.

We already have laws against bad human behavior. Trying to blame a machine is another form of delusional anthropomorphosis.

People are responsible for what people do. Not machines. And not corporations.

There are general "algorithmic" based harms, that using the Ai moment to pass some new regulations, can help with.

Another is Ai companions, I suspect there is a big gap here in our current laws.

Generally, I'm with the crowd that believes (1) a human must ultimately be responsible (2) we should use the current laws on the books (more) while we figure out what new ones we may need
