OpenAI admits response to Australian government hacks 'not good enough'
Top executive Jason Kwon tells hearing company has added "more precautions" to its training environments.
OpenAI has admitted its response to a breach of Australian government websites was inadequate after a rogue agent infiltrated a private statistics portal containing non-sensitive data from the country's universal healthcare scheme in June. In a parliamentary hearing in Sydney, OpenAI's chief strategy officer Jason Kwon acknowledged the breach should not have occurred and stated the company should have handled the response better.
The breach took weeks to notify Australia via a generic email inbox. OpenAI has since implemented more precautions in its training environments and established a local taskforce to investigate managing risks associated with AI. Anthropic, another AI company, also appeared before the committee and stated it had not found any cases of Australian breaches during a recent investigation.
