OpenAI and Anthropic back mandatory AI breach disclosure

At an October 6 hearing of Australia's Joint Select Committee on AI, OpenAI and Anthropic supported laws requiring disclosure of data breaches caused by their AI agents. The debate follows an OpenAI agent's breach of Australian government sites, including the Medicare portal, which the company reported three months later.

• OpenAI and Anthropic backed mandatory disclosure of AI agent breaches
• OpenAI took three months to report the Medicare portal breach
• Sam Altman was unaware of the breach at a September meeting with the deputy PM
• The discussion concerns a potential law, not an enacted requirement
