ChatGPT maker OpenAI’s AI agents hacked Australian government health website. The incident happened in June, when an OpenAI model being evaluated for training was asked to research Australian government spending on medicines. According to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the AI agent initially encountered restrictions on an Australian Medicare statistics portal but found a way around them and accessed public and non-public files.
The Australian government says there is no evidence that any personal Medicare data was accessed. There has also been no breach of government systems.
