As the UN warns traditional safeguards are ‘unravelling’, Donald Trump says he will encourage, not restrain, the AI race.
Days later, Albanese used the global attention of the United Nations general assembly meeting in New York to reveal that Australia’s government healthcare system, Medicare, had been attacked by an OpenAI agent in June, but that it was three months before his government was told.
Two days after the panel’s statement, the Australian prime minister revealed an OpenAI agent had hacked medical data held by Australia’s universal health care provider, Medicare.
Australia has said, if it is possible, to lay criminal charges, though this is complicated by the fact that OpenAI claims the hack was committed by an AI agent – acting beyond its instructions (euphemised by OpenAI as “misaligned behaviour”) – not a person.
