Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) issued a subpoena to OpenAI on Monday requesting the company respond to a multistate investigation into the handling of its model breach of technology startup Hugging Face.
Marshall announced Monday the investigation is trying to determine whether OpenAI violated Alabama's Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which seeks to protect consumers from deceptive, false or unfair business practices, after two of its models went rogue and hacked into Hugging Face.
The Alabama attorney general's subpoena requests all of the company's documents, data and information on the July breach.
This includes every "employee, officer and agent" of the AI firm involved in the breach, along with materials on OpenAI's discovery or awareness of the hack. The state leader is also requesting information on OpenAI's safety measures and any concerns around model testing raised by employees.
The subpoena comes nearly three weeks after Marshall and 14 other state attorneys general warned OpenAI to preserve its records on the Hugging Face breach.
