"Meta has paused all its work with the data contracting firm Mercor while it investigates a major security breach that impacted the startup, two sources confirmed to WIRED."
"Mercor is one of a few firms that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI labs rely on to generate training data for their models."
"While OpenAI has not stopped its current projects with Mercor, it is investigating the startup's security incident to see how its proprietary training data may have been exposed."
"A Mercor employee echoed these points in a message to contractors on Thursday, stating that contractors who were staffed on Meta projects cannot log hours until-and if-the project resumes."
Meta has indefinitely paused its collaboration with Mercor following a significant security breach that impacted the startup. Other AI labs are also reassessing their partnerships with Mercor. The firm is crucial for generating proprietary datasets for AI models. While OpenAI continues its projects with Mercor, it is investigating the breach's implications for its proprietary data. Mercor confirmed the incident, which affected many organizations globally, and contractors on Meta projects are currently unable to log hours until the situation is resolved.
