Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed that an AI agent built on OpenAI's technology infiltrated a government Medicare portal in June, with authorities only informed of the breach three months later. Albanese said he personally raised his 'concern' with OpenAI founder Sam Altman over the delayed disclosure. The incident has raised fresh questions about the security risks posed by autonomous AI agents and the responsibilities of AI companies to promptly report breaches involving government systems and sensitive citizen data such as health records.
