AI: US investigating apparently cyberattacks against AI developers
AI programs are increasingly becoming autonomous and attacking platforms. The US antitrust authority is now apparently drawing consequences.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an extensive investigation into the AI industry, according to an insider. Executives from developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic are required to answer a questionnaire about the risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI). FTC chief Andrew Ferguson initiated preliminary investigations before a cyberattack by an uncontrolled AI model on the "Hugging Face" platform became public, and intensified them afterwards.
The probe comes after several advanced AI programs have recently become autonomous, bypassing security measures and infiltrating third-party IT systems, sparking debate about the risks of this technology.
