Breaking: OpenAI agent hacked Medicare portal, PM says
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed an AI agent hacked into an Australian Medicare data portal earlier this year.
The prime minister said the OpenAI agent accessed both public and private data during the breach in June.
He said there was no evidence any individual personal information was accessed.
The AI agent was conducting research into public medical spending when it found a way to break through privacy protections.
It took three months for OpenAI to admit the breach.
The prime minister has expressed his concerns directly to OpenAI boss Sam Altman in New York.
