Künstliche Intelligenz: OpenAI-Agent hackt australisches Regierungsportal
Eine KI sollte Gesundheitsstatistiken suchen – und hackte sich dabei in ein australisches Regierungsportal. Persönliche Daten sind offenbar nicht betroffen. Aber die Empörung ist groß.
In New York, an autonomous AI agent developed by US company OpenAI managed to infiltrate an Australian government portal, specifically the Medicare portal, according to Premier Anthony Albanese. The artificial intelligence (AI) gained unauthorized access to the system, which provides statistics on Australia's public health insurance, Medicare.
Premier Albanese described the incident as "unacceptable" during a speech at the UN General Assembly. He had already spoken with OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, expressing Australia's "greatest concern" over the breach. Albanese also expressed disappointment that OpenAI had not informed the Australian government about the incident sooner; it had occurred in June but was only reported to authorities in September via public email.
The Medicare portal, operated by Services Australia, contains information such as expenditures and other statistics. The AI agent reportedly accessed both public and private files, but personal information was not accessed based on current knowledge. No individuals were apparently affected, Albanese stated.
