More than a dozen Republican attorneys general send a letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman urging the company to preserve records related to a recent breach involving Hugging Face. The AGs argue that OpenAI’s models may have been involved in the incident and that the company could have violated state or federal laws, depending on what the preserved materials show. The letter asks OpenAI to take steps to keep relevant evidence intact while the officials review the matter. The request centers on maintaining documentation connected to OpenAI systems, including information that could clarify how the breach occurred, what data or model-related access was involved, and whether any legal obligations were triggered.
