· Technology · ABC News (AU), The Guardian
OpenAI chief strategy officer Jason Kwon testified before an Australian parliamentary inquiry in Canberra, admitting the company should have disclosed a Medicare statistics hack to the federal government sooner. Mr Kwon stated he could not explain why Australians remain among the world's most distrustful populations regarding artificial intelligence. During his appearance, he noted that OpenAI has implemented new internal alerts to monitor internet usage during model training and reported a separate NSW Parks and Wildlife breach quickly. Rival AI firm Anthropic also testified at the inquiry, stating it would have disclosed a similar data breach immediately and supporting proposed federal legislation requiring mandatory reporting of serious safety incidents.
