OpenAI agent 'infiltrated' Australian government website, PM says
Albanese said he expressed "concern" to OpenAI founder Sam Altman, after authorities were informed three months after the breach in June.
An artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI "infiltrated" an Australian government website in June, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.
The agent gained unauthorised accessed to a statistics portal containing "non-sensitive Medicare information", Albanese told a news conference at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Medicare refers to Australia's universal healthcare scheme. The breach is among the first publicly reported AI-led hacks of a government website in the world.
The prime minister said he spoke directly to CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman to say that it had taken "too long" to inform authorities and "to express Australia's extreme concern about this incident".
