Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed an AI agent hacked into an Australian Medicare data portal earlier this year.
Speaking in New York, Albanese said the Open AI agent gained unauthorised access to the Medicare statistics reporting service portal administered by Services Australia.
The AI agent accessed both public and non-public files.
The agent was conducting research into public medical spending when it found a way to break through privacy protections.
Albanese said it took three months for OpenAI to admit the breach, which he said was unacceptable.
