Cl\u00e9ment Delangue isn’t wild about Netflix’s new documentary.<\/p>\n
Delangue cofounded Hugging Face, an AI startup acquired by Nvidia<\/a> for almost $13 billion in September. Two months prior, Hugging Face became the face of AI risk when rogue OpenAI agents<\/a> hacked the business.<\/p>\n The hacking saga sparked a Netflix documentary titled “AI Gone Wild.” On Tuesday, Delangue criticized the so-called “instadoc” in a lengthy X post.<\/p>\n “Super disappointing, as they went for maximum anthropomorphism of the technology and full doomer mode,” Delangue wrote.<\/p>\n Delangue sat for an interview in the documentary, along with a METR researcher<\/a>, the director of the AI Futures Project, and two tech journalists.<\/p>\n In the X post, Delangue wrote that he spent over two hours trying to correct what he described as the documentary’s mistakes. He wanted to explain that AI agents were “technological systems, not aliens.”<\/p>\n “It looks like the drive to scare people for maximum views was too strong,” Delangue wrote.<\/p>\n Delangue listed some things the Netflix documentary omitted: the lack of agent containment, how safeguards for OpenAI’s closed model blocked Hugging Face’s defense, how Hugging Face defended itself with an open model<\/a>, and “that we still lack a lot of information and transparency including full agent traces and that companies need to remain accountable for what their agents do.”<\/p>\n Netflix did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.<\/p>\n Want more Business Insider in your news feed?<\/p>\n \n Add BI in Google so our reporting is easier to find when you\u2019re searching for what matters.\n <\/p>\n
