Teamwork makes the dream work.

Two OpenAI researchers have shed some light on how the company’s AI agents escaped containment and hacked Hugging Face during cybersecurity tests. In a talk at the Black Hat security conference, Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton said a swarm of agents communicated using a message board, working together to find exploits and move undetected through the company’s systems.
