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 heard that Anthropic, creator of AI chatbot Claude, is open to Australian laws requiring AI companies to disclose data breaches. This comes after rival OpenAI disclosed a breach of Australia's main health portal.
Anthropic and OpenAI are also seeking to use local content to train models, and are calling for Australia to relax its copyright laws. Australia is set to introduce AI-specific laws next year, and both firms are under scrutiny worldwide following incidents of their AI agents going rogue.
