AI companies must report security breaches after OpenAI Medicare breach

Artificial intelligence companies will face new rules on safety and be forced to notify the government of cyber breaches, under an overhaul of standards following the OpenAI breach of a Medicare database. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday that the safety and security protections would be overseen by a new AI safety regulator, who would have the power to “enforce significant penalties for AI companies doing the wrong thing”.
