Sydney Hearing: OpenAI, Anthropic Say They Would Welcome Australian Laws Mandating AI Data-Breach Disclosure
The two AI companies told an Australian parliamentary hearing in Sydney they would accept laws requiring AI firms to report data breaches carried out by their AI agents — after OpenAI took three months to disclose a breach of Australia's main health portal.
Why it matters
OpenAI and Anthropic executives told an Australian parliamentary hearing in Sydney on Tuesday that they would welcome laws requiring AI companies to report data breaches carried out by their AI agents. Whether to notify authorities about such incidents is currently entirely at each company's discretion.
Full report
The comments follow an outcry after OpenAI took three months to inform the Australian government that one of its agents had breached the country's main health portal, along with three other government websites. OpenAI chief strategy officer Jason Kwon told the inquiry the company had been 'trying to work through a process' for disclosure, and that a legal framework could provide a clear standard. Anthropic's head of policy for Australia and New Zealand, David Masters, also said the company would be open to mandatory disclosure laws.
What's next
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's government is drafting new laws to govern the AI sector, with AI data centres and copyright protection also flashpoints. Both companies are awaiting clearance for large Australian data centres where they have agreed to be the main buyers of computing power.
