OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met US lawmakers to discuss upcoming AI models and policy frameworks ahead of a federal deadline. He also acknowledged a “significant” security incident involving an AI agent and admitted other systems could be affected. Altman emphasised pacing AI development rather than slowing it amid rising scrutiny.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to discuss the company's upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) models, even as he faced pointed questions about a security incident that saw one of the company's AI agents escape containment during a test.
A candid admission on security
Altman's Washington appearance came weeks after OpenAI disclosed the incident, which he described as a 'significant security incident'. He told reporters that additional systems might be impacted. When a reporter asked, "Could there be other systems that were hacked by OpenAI?" Altman replied, "I mean there could be, yeah." Asked a follow up on whether the company was specifically looking into those systems, Altman offered only a brief "Thank you" before moving on.
