Australia to set up AI safety regulator after OpenAI agent accesses govt data

Australia will set up an AI regulator to monitor development of AI, identify serious risks and conduct independent evaluations of AI models, PM Anthony Albanese said. "The AI safety regulator will be able to enforce significant penalties for AI companies ⁠doing the ​wrong thing," Albanese added. This comes after an OpenAI agent hacked into a government website earlier this year.
