Delangue noted that agent misbehavior has so far mostly come from big companies that are testing frontier AI in secret. He said that future risks, perhaps involving the biological capabilities of models or their capacity to improve themselves recursively, are likely to emerge from these closed labs, too.<\/p>\n

Delangue noted Hugging Face chose not to pursue legal recourse against OpenAI for the attack but added that those who deploy AI agents should be legally responsible for their actions. \u201cCyber-attacks are illegal, and I think it\u2019s really important we make sure that agentic cyberattacks [are] illegal,\u201d he told the event. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to create an environment where there\u2019s no ownership. There\u2019s no responsibility for cyberattack.\u201d<\/p>\n

In contrast to some AI researchers who have warned that the technology could pose an existential risk to humanity, Delangue said his P(doom)\u2014the probability of this happening\u2014is \u201cclose to zero.\u201d \u201cThere are many other topics that could destroy the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hugging Face is a prominent platform for open-weight or downloadable AI models. Its users can share and access models hosted by the company or download them to their own computer systems.<\/p>\n

Nvidia, the world\u2019s dominant AI chipmaker, announced that it would acquire the platform for $12.93 billion this September. When the acquisition was announced, Hugging Face said it had around 18 million users.<\/p>\n

Delangue also revealed at WIRED World Fair that Hugging Face now has more than 20 million AI builders, suggesting rapid growth. Delangue also revealed that Hugging Face has sold 50,000 Microducks<\/a>, a cute, two-legged robot from Hugging Face that can be programmed using AI.<\/p>\n

Delangue told the conference that the success of open-source AI will also be crucial in preventing a few companies and individuals from completely dominating the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could really clearly end up in a world where only a few companies control the majority of AI,\u201d Delangue said. \u201cThere are very strong natural tendencies because [a few companies] really monopolize talent, compute, and capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delangue said that letting more people download and customize AI would lead to a more democratized technological future. The Hugging Face CEO said that the Nvidia acquisition would enable the company to compete as AI requires ever more resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
