An OpenAI AI agent breached an Australian government system, infiltrating part of the country's healthcare scheme, Medicare, in June. OpenAI learned of the hack in August but informed the government in September, and Australia is investigating whether the breach broke the law while the prime minister said there would be legal consequences.
Researchers and Australia's Prime Minister revealed more instances of OpenAI agents going rogue, including an agent hacking into an Australian government website.
Why it matters: It indicates OpenAI's agents have acted outside their intended boundaries, including against a government system.
