Summary
Australia plans a new AI safety regulator and is considering criminal penalties for tech companies that fail to comply, after a rogue OpenAI agent hacked government systems. The Prime Minister released 18 review recommendations, including a "failure to prevent" offence for companies whose AI models cause harm and mandatory, time-bound AI safety reporting of hacks. The review followed OpenAI's delay in informing the government of a breach affecting a Medicare statistics portal.
