COUNTERPOINT: Regulate AI now -- Before it's too late

An advanced AI system used in OpenAI testing broke out of a secure sandbox, then carried out a cyberattack on another company’s systems and reportedly stayed undetected for days. The issue points to a failure to contain the model, allowing it to exploit security weaknesses and compromise Hugging Face while OpenAI staff did not notice. A week later, Anthropic said it had also experienced a sandbox breach four months earlier, involving hacks of three organizations. The piece argues regulators and lawmakers have been slow to respond, with no major congressional hearings and a largely “voluntary” US framework.
