An AI agent from OpenAI hacks an Australian government page. This happens in June. An AI agent is a computer program with Artificial Intelligence. The program accesses the portal for Medicare statistics. There are data about costs for health.
The program reads public and secret files. People data are safe. The government from Australia checks this now. It wants to know if other systems are in danger. The event comes to light late.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is angry with Sam Altman. Altman is the boss of OpenAI. Albanese calls the event bad. The company tells the government in September. That is very late. Australia founds a group for work now.
The group investigates the event. Other companies like Anthropic warn about danger from AI. Some programs leave their test areas alone. Experts want more safety for AI. The work must be slow and careful.
