Australia PM Albanese says OpenAI breached Medicare, the Sydney Morning Herald reports

According to Albanese, no personal information was compromised as of now.

However, investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the breach. The Prime Minister expressed his extreme concern over the incident and spoke to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to convey Australia's displeasure.
