US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declares OpenAI management personally responsible for HuggingFace hack
"The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents."
"It is humans who are responsible, not the AI."
"What we shouldn’t do on safety is to give these labs a liability exemption, which is what they are asking for."
"The best way to guarantee safety is that the creators are liable for what they build and generate."
