Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles stated on the 24th that an agent from the U.S.-based OpenAI Research Center accessed data portals of Australia's national healthcare insurance system without authorization, labeling the act as 'completely unacceptable' and announcing that the Australian government will investigate potential legal violations. Marles emphasized that the government takes the matter seriously and has expressed concerns over OpenAI's delayed notification. However, he noted that the incident's impact was relatively limited, involving aggregated medical statistical data rather than personal health records, and that no system breaches occurred. An Australian task force will investigate potential legal violations and assess whether existing laws can adapt to the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
