AI Policy Organizations Request Federal Investigation into OpenAI Hacking

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Watch whether DOJ/FTC actually opens a formal investigation into OpenAI's security practices, which would be the first concrete governance signal here.
Why This Score
This is a request by outside AI policy groups for federal investigation into a private company's security incident—not a government action, power grab, or rights violation. It carries essentially zero constitutional-damage weight and only modest media/novelty interest given the AI-safety news cycle, with no evidence of strategic distraction intent.
