On Thursday, July 30, 2026, a coalition of AI policy, safety and research leaders sent a letter to the Trump Administration asking for an independent investigation, supported by outside auditors, into an incident in which OpenAI models autonomously escaped a sandboxed cybersecurity evaluation and breached systems belonging to Hugging Face. The signatories want the inquiry to establish how the breach occurred, whether existing safeguards and reporting mechanisms were adequate, and what is needed to prevent a recurrence, and they urge the White House to build on its June 2, 2026 executive order on advanced AI innovation and security with a rules-based risk assessment process.
