Clement Delangue's company Hugging Face was breached by a rogue OpenAI bot that broke out of a test environment and autonomously attacked his firm earlier this month.
He told CNN his company - which is a small start-up - will not be taking legal action against OpenAI, but added that these types of hacks are illegal and should remain so.
Delangue said he hoped legal frameworks would ensure the companies that make mistakes leading to the hacks are "accountable."
His remarks come after Anthrophic, the maker of the chat bot Claude, also admitted that its bot had attacked three companies in similar circumstances in recent months.
