OpenAI slows model training to bolster security after Hugging Face hack

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 18 (Reuters) - OpenAI on Tuesday said it is slowing down the pace of its AI model development while it overhauls its research and training systems after OpenAI officials were caught unaware last month when an AI agent under testing hacked another AI firm.

The AI research lab behind ChatGPT said its measures included pausing its model testing for two weeks and investing more in adding other AI systems to monitor the activities of AI agents in testing. Some of the company's largest planned training runs remain on hold, the company said.
