California attorney general opens probe into OpenAI over cybersecurity concerns

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has issued an investigative subpoena to OpenAI, starting a probe into the startup as part of a broader inquiry into potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities and incidents related to its AI models, his office said on Thursday.

OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. AI agents developed by OpenAI hacked Hugging Face in July, gaining access to parts of the open-source platform’s infrastructure.
