It could be an incident that became public July 2026, according to report.<\/p>\n<p>The incident actually revolved around a swarm of OpenAI agents that, seemingly on their own, hacked the systems of a company called Hugging Face, a technology company and online platform for building, sharing, and using Artificial Intelligence models.<\/p>\n<p>The attack apparently set off alarm bells, resulting in a wake-up call.<\/p>\n<p>Sequel to the reported incident, Marius Hobbhahn, Co-founder and CEO of Apollo Research, an AI safety company, told CBS News: &#8220;We&#8217;ll soon have even more powerful agents, and this is clear evidence that the world currently doesn&#8217;t know how to build these systems safely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Independent researchers, who were given brief and limited access to OpenAI records, said they determined that about 1,200 AI agents involved in the attack were not supposed to be communicating with one another.<\/p>\n<p>However, the researchers concluded the agents used a hidden message board to do so, report said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Top technology Chief Executive Officers express concerns over
