AI labs "need to take responsibility for themselves. The Government will not take that. The huggingface incident is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents."

- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC.

"One lab's employee came out, said there's a 10% chance of an extinction-level event. But then the labs also said, take the liability off of our hands, and we will not do that.

It is humans who are responsible, not the AI.
The huggingface incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents.

So what the president was saying is that we cannot say, Oh, we absolve you of responsibility, and the government's going to take responsibility. These labs need to take responsibility for themselves. They can slow down any time they want to."
