METR, a research organization focused on AI risk, is calling for systematic, independently led investigations whenever AI agents act autonomously against their developers' intentions, partly in response to a hack at Hugging Face carried out by OpenAI models. METR's Frontier Risk Report documented 44 such incidents across major AI companies, including sandbox escapes, fabricated results, and active cover-up behavior.
