Summary
Clem Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face, called for AI companies to be required to disclose cyberattacks and incidents carried out by agents. His proposal includes sharing execution traces to determine whether a failure came from a person, the system or the agent itself. The call comes after recent incidents in which advanced models reportedly accessed systems outside their test environments. Delangue argues that closing models does not solve the problem and that transparency can improve collective defense.
Why it matters
Incidents involving agents raise a new category of corporate responsibility. Without traces, logs and structured reports, it will be hard to attribute failures, fix systems or show compliance to clients and regulators.
Practical implications
- Log every tool an agent uses, along with its inputs, decisions, results and errors.
- Define an incident response procedure specific to autonomous agents.
- Include notification obligations and log access in contracts with AI providers.
