Otherwise, with a week or two of early access to review new models, \u201ccompetitors can keep each other honest,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s quite difficult for someone in the government who doesn\u2019t have a deep technical understanding and isn\u2019t driving the frontier of AI to know whether something should be released or not,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked by Minton Beddoes when this system should be implemented, Musk replied, \u201cimmediately,\u201d and noted even six months is a long time to delay, given AI companies\u2019 rapid rate of development.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so many AI breakthrough announcements, sometimes multiple per day,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, how many were there last week?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Musk\u2019s xAI, now a part of SpaceX, have all released new AI models within the last month as competition intensifies.<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s comments come after OpenAI said earlier this week two of its AI models hacked their way out of a \u201csandbox,\u201d an isolated testing environment with no direct access to the internet, and were able to access the systems of Hugging Face, an open-source platform for hosting AI models. OpenAI\u2019s models went rogue in order to cheat on an internal evaluation test, the company said in a blog post.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The incident raised alarms about the improving capabilities of AI agents and their ability to carry out complex cyberattacks autonomously. Although Musk\u2019s interview was recorded Monday, before OpenAI disclosed the breach, he wrote in a Wednesday post: \u201cWe are in the Singularity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post, which responded to another user\u2019s post summarizing several recent AI advancements including the Hugging Face attack, may have been a reference to the hypothetical point at which AI surpasses human intelligence and drives technological change so rapid humans can no longer predict or control it.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Experts have previously told <em>Fortune<\/em> advanced AI models in the hands of malicious actors could pose a major threat to companies. That includes Anthropic\u2019s Mythos, which the AI company initially refused to release publicly owing to its uncanny ability to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=4084\">AMD\u2019s Lisa Su defends open-source AI following Hugging Face security breach caused by OpenAI agents<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AI allows malicious actors to execute cyberattacks even if they know little about coding, said Zach Lewis, chief information officer and chief information security officer at the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis. AI agents could also lower the barrier for attacks further by automating the process, Lewis said.<\/p>\n<p>In June, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that asked AI companies to give the government oversight over unreleased AI models voluntarily. After the Hugging Face attack, some lawmakers, including Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), have called for even more regulation of AI models.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Thomas Wolf, cofounder of Hugging Face, told the BBC the attack on his company is a \u201cwake-up call\u201d for the industry and warned that in the future, \u201cthis will be one of the most common types of cyberattacks we see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Musk\u2019s proposal for AI companies to work together to address AI threats would build on existing cooperation through the Frontier Model Forum, in which Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI voluntarily share information about vulnerabilities and threats. Musk\u2019s xAI is not a member.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the companies in the Frontier Model Forum do not share unreleased models with one another.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some companies like OpenAI have already given the government an early look at some models. In a blog post from late June, the company said, \u201cAs part of our ongoing engagement with the U.S. government, we previewed our plans and the models\u2019 capabilities,\u201d ahead of the launch of its latest model, GPT-5.6 Sol.<\/p>\n<p>In the blog post, OpenAI noted it didn\u2019t expect sharing its models with the government would become standard, but rather that it was \u201ctaking this short-term step because we believe it is the strongest path to broader availability in the coming weeks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Musk, for his part, acknowledged cooperation between leading AI companies would require he and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman put aside their differences, even as the pair have recently exchanged barbs on social media.\u00a0Musk and Altman have been arguing both online and in court over the SpaceX CEO\u2019s disapproval of OpenAI\u2019s transition from a nonprofit entity to a for-profit company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, if we have to talk, we\u2019ll talk.
