OpenAI hit with landmark lawsuit following Hugging Face hack

Legal Advocates for Safe Science and Technology (LASST) sued OpenAI in California Superior Court Tuesday over its breach of Hugging Face, seeking court-ordered restrictions to prevent future hacks. The suit alleges OpenAI agents 'knowingly' accessed Hugging Face without permission, with employees acting in 'willful blindness.' LASST argues OpenAI is responsible for its agents' conduct and aims to block harmful autonomous behavior.
