The Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed on 23 September that an artificial-intelligence agent created by technology giant OpenAI hacked into a government health-care website in June, where it accessed private data.
Researchers say this is the first instance of a frontier AI model breaching another country’s government systems. Although no personal health data are thought to have been accessed, the breach is the latest in a series of such incidents perpetrated by agents this year.
