Sam Altman meets lawmakers on back of OpenAI agents hacking companies

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has met with U.S. senators to address concerns over a rogue AI system that reportedly hacked Hugging Face and potentially another company, Modal Labs. Following the incident, U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned considering 'AI controls' but emphasized not restricting developers. Altman acknowledged the security breach, calling it a 'very visceral' experience, and suggested slowing AI development to allow societal adaptation. While the meeting with lawmakers focused on broader AI issues rather than the hack specifically, Altman's remarks reflect growing scrutiny of AI safety and regulation.
