After the Hugging Face hack, LASST staffers set aside their normal workloads \u201cto design, coordinate, and participate in a briefing regarding this incident for regulators,\u201d and have since responded to more briefing requests that required additional work. LASST staff put dozens of work hours into responding to OpenAI\u2019s unsafe development practices, the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the impact on LASST\u2019s other programs, LASST nevertheless devoted its resources towards attempting to counteract OpenAI\u2019s illegal conduct\u2026 If LASST prevails in this litigation, it will no longer need to divert its resources to combat the unlawful and unfair business practices employed by OpenAI concerning its AI agents hacking third parties during internal evaluations,\u201d the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n
Injunction request<\/p>\n
The lawsuit said the requested injunction should forbid OpenAI \u201cfrom knowingly accessing or causing to be accessed, themselves or through artificial intelligence agents that they develop, deploy, modify, or use, any computers, computer networks, or computer systems without authorization,\u201d and \u201cfrom knowingly employing an unfair business practice that threatens serious harm on the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
US lawmakers from both major parties have demanded answers<\/a> from OpenAI, and a proposed \u201cAI Kill Switch Act<\/a>\u201d would let US government officials order the shutdown of dangerous AI systems.<\/p>\n LASST said new regulations are needed to protect the public from AI risks but said California\u2019s existing law makes it possible to rein in AI companies \u201cwithout waiting for new regulation to catch up to the harms happening to businesses and consumers now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are filing this suit because OpenAI violated the law\u2014and it needs to be held accountable,\u201d the group said. \u201cOpenAI and frontier AI developers more broadly can\u2019t avoid the consequences of their unsafe actions just by claiming that \u2018an AI did it.\u2019 Autonomous AI agents will continue to hack, steal data, disrupt systems, and violate rights until a court steps in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the Hugging Face hack, LASST staffers set aside their normal workloads \u201cto design, coordinate, and participate in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":866318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-866317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
