Australia tightens AI oversight rules after OpenAI agent breached government website

​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.
