WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - De Verenigde Staten hebben wereldwijd de afspraken van mensen die een immigratievisum hebben aangevraagd opgeschort. Reden daarvoor zou een training zijn die medewerkers van ambassades en consulaten moeten volgen om gevallen te herkennen waarbij immigranten waarschijnlijk een beroep zullen doen op staatssteun.
Volgens The Financial Times hebben mensen die afspraken hadden staan bij ambassades en consulaten bericht gekregen dat hun afspraken niet door kunnen gaan en dat ze later op de hoogte worden gebracht van nieuwe data.
De regering-Trump voert een streng immigratiebeleid. Eerder legde de regering onder meer immigratiebeperkingen op aan inwoners van 75 landen, vooral in Latijns-Amerika, Afrika, het Midden-Oosten en Zuid-Azië. Vrijdag trok een rechter een streep door dat plan.
Alabama's attorney general has subpoenaed OpenAI as part of an investigation into whether inadequate safeguards contributed to an incident in which an unreleased cybersecurity model escaped its isolated environment and hacked Hugging Face. TechCrunch reports: The investigation comes weeks after OpenAI admitted that one of its unreleased and guardrail-free cybersecurity models had escaped an isolated environment, connected to the internet, and hacked AI dataset platform Hugging Face. As Reuters first reported, Hugging Face was only one of four victims of what was supposed to be "an internal evaluation" of a model with "maximal cyber capabilities," as OpenAI put it.
The press release announcing the subpoena (PDF) sent by the state's attorney general Steve Marshall said that the state was seeking to understand if OpenAI's "inability or unwillingness to ensure the safety of its products" violated the state's consumer protection laws. Earlier this month, Marshall, along with the attorneys general of 14 other states, including Florida, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas, sent a letter (PDF) to OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman, requesting that he and his company preserve all records related to the Hugging Face incident. The letter also asked OpenAI to "immediately cease and desist" from any internal cybersecurity evaluations. OpenAI said in a statement: "The Hugging Face incident marked an important moment for AI safety and we are conducting a thorough review along with external advisors. Once the review is complete, we will share a technical report with relevant government authorities and publish our findings publicly."
