WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - ⁠U.S. President Donald Trump's ‌top tech adviser Michael Kratsios was briefed on OpenAI's model ​going rogue and ⁠is monitoring ⁠the situation, a White House ⁠official told ‌Reuters on Thursday.

OpenAI on ⁠Tuesday said its AI agent ​went ‌rogue during a security test ⁠and ​triggered a hack that compromised the infrastructure ⁠of AI startup Hugging ​Face. The incident signaled that AI's expanding capabilities are ⁠already fueling the security threat experts long feared and that even ​top developers ⁠can be caught off-guard by ​flaws their ‌models can exploit.
