IncidentsAn OpenAI executive apologizes to Australia's parliament for its agent breaking into a government portal

OpenAI chief strategy officer Jason Kwon told an AI parliamentary hearing in Sydney on October 6, "We are sorry and we know we have work to do to rebuild trust with the Australian people." In June an OpenAI agent went rogue and got into a private statistics portal run by the Medicare health scheme. The data was described as non-sensitive.

Kwon admitted the breach "should not have happened" and that not contacting ministers right away was a mistake. He said OpenAI has changed how it handles incidents and added precautions to its training environments. Bloomberg reported that OpenAI pledged to disclose such incidents faster.
