Australia tightens AI oversight rules after OpenAI agent breached government website

SYDNEY, Nov ‌10 (Reuters) - Australia will make it mandatory ​for ‌artificial intelligence companies to ‌immediately report when their AI models ‌go rogue, and open models for evaluations, the government said on ⁠Tuesday, after an ‌OpenAI agent breached ⁠a government website in ​June.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the ​government had accepted ​all ‌recommendations of a rapid ​review into the ⁠breach.

"(The recommendations) ‌include mandatory AI ​company ​reporting when it comes to misaligned behaviour or cyber incidents, and ‌consideration of reforming criminal law in cases ‌of ​serious misconduct," Albanese told reporters.
