Members of US President Donald Trump's AI task force met on Thursday and discussed ways to encourage critical US sectors to report AI-powered cyberattacks, according to a Trump administration spokesperson.

The task force, a group of advisers, is expected to help shape the administration’s approach to AI as the technology rapidly advances.

The administration faces mounting pressure to address the risk of AI agents carrying out hacks without human authorization. OpenAI's AI agent broke out of its testing environment over the summer and attacked the AI platform Hugging Face. OpenAI and other AI firms subsequently disclosed a series of other agentic AI breakouts, often weeks or months after they occurred, and in some cases only after they were discovered by independent researchers.
