article title: Scott Bessent says OpenAI management bears responsibility for Hugging Face hack

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said OpenAI’s management bears responsibility for the recent hack of rival firm Hugging Face, rejecting the idea that AI agents were to blame. Bessent agreed with MIT’s Daniel Huttenlocher that humans, not AI, are responsible for such incidents. He also opposed granting AI companies a federal “liability shield,” saying labs must take responsibility and can slow down anytime. The comments follow Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call for an industrywide slowdown and safety measures. President Trump, who calls AI doomsday warnings a “hoax,” plans to create an “AI Force” led by a new czar.
