Senator Josh Hawley, chair of a Senate Homeland Security subcommittee, has launched an investigation into OpenAI's handling of the July Hugging Face breach, demanding documents and answers from CEO Sam Altman by October 1. The probe, driven by criticism that OpenAI acted 'recklessly' and redacted key details from its internal report, lands amid escalating congressional concern following public existential-risk warnings from Anthropic and OpenAI researchers.
