Anthropic executives told an Australian parliamentary inquiry on Tuesday that the company would support laws requiring AI firms to disclose data breaches. Head of Policy for Australia and New Zealand David Masters and Head of Safeguards David Orr testified that while their internal audits showed no breaches of Australian government systems, mandatory reporting regulations are acceptable.
