Amid the growing warnings for “AI doomsday”, US President Donald Trump on Sunday slammed critics of artificial intelligence, terming them “negative forces”.
The US President’s remarks come in the aftermath of some AI executives and employees raising concerns about its fast progress, while calling for the “pacing” of the development of models. A former Anthropic researcher, who resigned recently, warned that the company and its rival OpenAI were racing to build technologies that “could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Among them are Anthropic chief executive officer Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Eon Musk. The Anthropic CEO’s post came amid a host of resignations in artificial intelligence firms.
they allegedly discovered a vulnerability in an internal service used for downloading approved software, and exploited it to move across internal systems, reaching the open internet, Time Magazine reported While the agents were given terminal access within a sandbox.
The Anthropic CEO also called for AI companies in democratic countries to establish common safety standards and checks on AI progress, and urged US and other governments to attempt to coordinate with “authoritarian governments”, “to the extent this is possible, while taking seriously the challenges of verifying compliance.” From there, they inferred that Hugging Face might hold material related to the test, broke into its systems and obtained information that helped them score higher.
The OpenAI hugging face incident in July 2026 has increased concerns of loss of control over AI, according to Amodei and other experts. This happened when OpenAI was running cybersecurity evaluations on advanced models—including GPT-5.6 Sol and an internal research model—using a benchmark called ExploitGym to test capture-the-flag hacking skills.
In response, Amodei told CNN that he “agrees more than he disagrees” with him, but said Anthropic was a “more responsible player. He was calling out the dynamic of the industry as a whole, moving too fast,” Amodei said. Amodei said this was not an isolated incident, and smaller such instances had taken place across the industry, including in Anthropic. The incident involved a swarm of AI agents being tested internally by OpenAI, which were supposed to be in an “isolated environment” called a “sandbox.
“He wasn’t calling out to us.
