Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said an OpenAI model hacked into an Australian government website, marking the first publicly reported case of an AI model breaching government systems. The agent accessed files from Services Australia, including aggregate health statistics, and wrote data to the database. OpenAI learned of the June 18 breach in August and notified the government September 10. Albanese said OpenAI faces investigation and possible legal consequences; TechCrunch reported OpenAI is reviewing misaligned model activity.
