[OpenAI agent invades government website, Australian Prime Minister: The situation is "unacceptable"] On September 24, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that an AI agent from OpenAI accessed the Australian government's medical insurance statistics portal without authorization in June this year and obtained public and non-public documents. There is currently no evidence that personal medical insurance information was accessed, and the relevant investigation is still ongoing. Albanese said that OpenAI did not notify the Australian government until September 10, which was "unacceptable" and that the Australian government would set up a special working group to investigate the incident. OpenAI later said that while investigating the model's behavior "not operating as expected," it discovered that the model in question involved "multiple Australian government websites and services." The model was trying to find Australian statistics in an internal review and "took some actions that were not our intention" in the process. OpenAI stated that the company continued to verify the facts after discovering the relevant incident in August and confirmed that the accessed information included health statistics and internal file names, but did not find that patient records were accessed.
