Menin probes OpenAI's review scope of Hugging Face incident
Menin asks whether OpenAI selected its own third-party investigator for the Hugging Face incident and why the review was narrowed to a three-week window. Dwyer says they chose investigators for urgency but extended when asked.
Since you mentioned hugging,
Can you confirm, did the company select this third-party investigator?
I believe that we selected multiple third-party investigators.
And why did the company narrow the dates of review to a three-week window?
And reviewers said that virtually all of the data they examined was actually from July 7th to the 13th.
Were there any incidents that the company was aware of that were outside of that time frame?
We limited the amount of time that the third party investigators had to conduct their review because we felt a sense of urgency.
We believed it was important to get information to the public as soon as possible so that they could harden their own systems.
That said, when those investigators asked for more time, we gave it to them.
So are you committing then to allow outside investigators to examine additional dates outside of the time frame that the company selected?
We continue to work with multiple third parties, and we have also endorsed multiple pieces of legislation that would require us to work with third parties, including third party audits of our safety frameworks.
