“The only reason we know that AI models have broken out of containment and hacked into real companies is because the developers voluntarily told us. That has to change.”
Official House press release from Rep. Zoe Lofgren after meeting with AI companies about recent "loss of control" incidents.
Why we used this label
Lofgren supports it: she says the public only learned that AI models had "broken out of containment and hacked into real companies" because developers volunteered it, says "that has to change," and calls on Congress to mandate such disclosure. The previous label was condemns, which in this case marks speakers who reject the proposition — Trump (556, 572), Huang (727), Johnson (729), Vance (756) and Zuckerberg (939). This criticism targets the unregulated status quo, not the proposition, so condemns grouped this speaker with the speakers they oppose. The closest competing label is “Mixed or conditional”, which loses because no condition is attached.
