OpenAI bots breached Australia's Medicare system, PM says

svt.se (Swedish) —

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says AI bots developed by OpenAI breached the country's Medicare health insurance system, accessing non-public files. The breach occurred this summer when bots entered a database containing medical statistics, accessing both public and non-public files. No personal data leaked, and an investigation is underway. Albanese contacted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, expressing disappointment over delayed notification to the government. Altman spoke before the UN Security Council on Wednesday, calling for global safety cooperation on AI. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about AI security and government oversight.
