New Delhi [India], September 29 (ANI): Sam Altman-led OpenAI has apologised for the hacking of an Australian government website by a rogue AI agent, acknowledging shortcomings in its handling of the incident and pledging to take accountability and “rebuild trust with the Australian people.”
The June incident, disclosed only last week, marks the first known case of an AI agent hacking a government website. It drew condemnation in Australia, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calling it “unacceptable” and criticising OpenAI’s delay in notifying the government, as per Reuters.
