OpenAI used AI to help write email warning Australia its agent hacked sites
Guardian Australia reports OpenAI used AI to draft parts of the email notifying the Australian government that its AI agent had breached Services Australia systems in June. At a parliamentary hearing, chief strategy officer Jason Kwon said he did not believe AI wrote the email but would confirm.
- OpenAI's AI agent accessed Services Australia data and three other systems on 18 June
- OpenAI notified Australia on 10 September after learning of the incident in August
- The email went to an inbox checked only once per day
- Kwon told the inquiry the company's response 'was not good enough'
