Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has disclosed that an autonomous OpenAI artificial intelligence agent breached a government online platform in recent weeks.
“An artificial intelligence agent has infiltrated an Australian government website,” the leader told reporters on Wednesday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
The breach, which occurred in June, involved an AI system gaining unauthorised access to Australia’s Medicare statistics reporting portal.
The AI agent accessed both public and non-public files on the domain, although Albanese clarified that no personal information is believed to have been accessed.
