AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - Scoop: OpenAI faces GOP-led Senate investigation into Hugging Face breach
A Republican-led Senate subcommittee that oversees disaster management is investigating OpenAI's handling of the Hugging Face breach in July, Axios has learned. Why it matters: The investigation comes amid rapidly escalating concern on Capitol Hill about the existential dangers posed by AI following public warnings by several Anthropic and OpenAI researchers. - "As you may know, in the public domain, more AI experts are warning about the existential risks of AI," Sen.

AXIOS (Sam Sabin) - AI agents are poised to be the next hacking victims, cyber CEO predicts
In a world of AI-enabled cyberattacks , the victims of hacks will no longer just be humans — they'll also be AI agents themselves, Bugcrowd CEO Dave Gerry told Axios. Why it matters: Cyber defenses are tailored toward predicting and defending humans.

What he's saying: "We're going to see agents as the victim," Gerry told Axios. "You're going…
AXIOS (Madison Mills) - AI models are becoming unknowable
AI models may be getting safer while also getting harder to monitor. Which side of that seesaw prevails could determine whether AI is scaled safely or ruins civilization as we know it. Why it matters: Right now both options are running full steam and no one knows who's in charge of making sure the right one wins. State of play: OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman said could eventually be seen as the start of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. - Astra performs better, but it's also better at avoiding monitoring, meaning it could be harder to know what it's thinking or doing. - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman separately told Axios this week that models are becoming "superhuman" in some capabilities and…
