Anthropic's head of safeguards, Dave Orr, has told an Australian parliamentary inquiry that investigations of hundreds of millions of transcripts reveal no unauthorised interactions with Australian government systems. However, Orr noted that Anthropic has limited visibility into customer usage due to its standard 'zero data retention' policies.
The inquiry comes after a breach of Australia's Medicare portal by an OpenAI agent. Anthropic, creator of AI chatbot Claude, and OpenAI are waiting for approval for massive data centres planned in Sydney and regional Queensland. Both companies are also seeking to relax Australia's copyright laws to use local content to train models.
Anthropic would be open to Australian laws requiring AI companies to disclose data breaches. The company has conducted a lengthy investigation into potential breaches, similar to one conducted by OpenAI into a hack of Hugging Face.
