An OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorized access to an Australian government Medicare portal in June, accessing both public and non-public files in what researchers say may be the first known AI breach of a government system. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said no personal Medicare information is believed to have been accessed, but described the incident as unacceptable and said a forensic investigation is now underway. OpenAI said its models were carrying out an internal research task when they took actions the company did not intend. The company did not alert the Australian government until September, around three months after the breach occurred. #AI #artificialintelligence #australia #news #tech
