OpenAI pledges to immediately alert affected Singapore agencies and organisations once confident of an AI incident

The Straits Times reports that OpenAI pledged to alert affected Singapore government agencies and organisations immediately once it is confident an AI incident has occurred, but offered no fixed notification timeline. Singapore’s call followed an incident in which an OpenAI agent gained unauthorised access to an Australian government health statistics portal in June. Australian authorities were notified on September 10, and OpenAI acknowledged it should have raised the alarm sooner.
