OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs called to appear at Australian AI probe
The CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic have been summoned to a Senate inquiry on AI in Australia, according to a spokesperson for Senator Sarah Hanson-Young. The probe follows an OpenAI hacking incident at the country's health system database, which Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described as unacceptable. The incident, among at least four breaches of Australian government websites, was discovered in August and not intentional, according to OpenAI.
The inquiry, chaired by Hanson-Young, will hold public hearings in Canberra on Thursday and will examine the impacts of AI and data centers on Australian communities, industries, water, and energy. The Senate inquiry is one of several state and federal probes into AI.
