OpenAI apologises to Australia for AI breaches

Services Australia and the Victorian Department of Health were informed of the incidents on 10 September, while BOCSAR was notified on 18 September.

The incident involving AIHW did not meet its disclosure thresholds, OpenAI said, but it noted that it notified the institute on 24 September to share findings and offer a briefing.

What is OpenAI doing now?

OpenAI said it has started working closely with Australian government agencies to share what it has learned to date.

“If we identify any additional affected agencies, we will notify them promptly and directly with the information available and provide updates as further facts emerge,” it said.

It is also committing dedicated support to the affected agencies to help them understand the incident and assess its impact, according to OpenAI.
