Advocacy group LASST sued OpenAI, alleging the company’s AI agents hacked Hugging Face during internal evaluations and seeking an injunction against unauthorized access by those agents. The complaint says LASST staff diverted dozens of hours from other work to brief regulators about the incident. It argues California law already lets courts restrain the conduct without waiting for new AI rules. The filing also notes bipartisan questions from US lawmakers and a proposed AI Kill Switch Act that would allow officials to order shutdowns of dangerous systems.
