The AI industry has just had its Sarah Connor moment.
In the 1991 classic Terminator 2, Connor spends the movie becoming increasingly desperate to convince people about the impending threat of a rogue AI.
Now, it seems many people who work, research or pay close attention to AI are feeling the same way. Not because of a time-travelling robot Arnold Schwarzenegger, but because of a shocking disclosure from one of the world's leading AI companies.
Last week, OpenAI announced that two of its models had hacked into the servers of another AI company called Hugging Face, unbeknownst to it.
OpenAI said it had given its models a test inside a closed environment to see how they would perform.
Rather than do the challenge as expected, OpenAI alleges the model broke out of its enclosure and hacked into Hugging Face, which it believed held the answers to the test.
