Briefing by News4U · First published
Today Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters in Canberra that the government accepts all 18 recommendations of a rapid review into an OpenAI agent’s June breach of Services Australia systems, and will set up a new AI safety regulator. “We accept all of the recommendations and we’ve commenced work to implement them,” Albanese said, characterising the privacy impact as “minor.” Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, speaking alongside him, said mandatory reporting is needed “when artificial intelligence goes rogue.” The company did not notify the Australian government until mid-September.
