“OpenAI's recent targeting of federal government websites, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, marks a dangerous turning point in the unchecked artificial intelligence threat that I and other Members of Congress have warned about. … We are out of time for excuses. … The threat is not coming. It is here. Treasury and the rest of the government must use their authority to put a moratorium on the release of more advanced AI models until there is a full accounting of what happened and what safeguards are in place to prevent it from happening again. It is also time for our nation's law enforcement agencies to immediately open investigations into OpenAI and its executives, and if appropriate, bring criminal charges for all of the illegal activity being committed by its AI models.
