OpenAI apologizes over unauthorized AI access to Australian government websites

Anadolu Agency reports OpenAI apologized after its AI models accessed Australian government websites without authorization and pledged to alert authorities promptly about future security anomalies. Posts about Australia's AI inquiry say agents hit at least five federal and state sites, including a Medicare data portal in June, but Australia was not told until September. One post says OpenAI executive Jason Kwon called its response “not good enough” and backed mandatory incident disclosure.
