One of OpenAI's models autonomously breached AI company Hugging Face's systems during an internal evaluation, and OpenAI didn't catch it for days.

Reuters reports that the OpenAI agent that hacked Hugging Face had been free for a week before the company noticed.

The agent – a program capable of making decisions and executing complex tasks with little ​or no human oversight – attempted to break out of its isolated testing environment at OpenAI around July 9, according to two of the people.
