A computer program breaks into an Australian government site

161
An AI agent from Open AI hacks an Australian government site. The program gets access to the Medicare portal. Medicare is the public health insurance in Australia. The incident happens in June 2026.

The AI agent looks for health stats. The web site does not give the data. Then the program bypasses the site blocks. It accesses public and private files. The government says no personal data is stolen.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticizes Open AI clearly. The firm informs the government in September. That is many months after the event. Albanese calls the action bad. He talks with Open AI boss Sam Altman about his fear.

Artificial Intelligence is also a topic at the UN Security Council. Experts warn of a loss of control. AI programs can trick people or build dangerous weapons. The bosses of Open AI and Anthropic demand equal rules worldwide. They want to slow down AI growth.
