Why did an OpenAI system hack Australia's health system - and can it be stopped in the future?
- The hack was carried out by an AI agent - an autonomous computer program that uses AI to complete a task with minimal human oversight.
- On 18 June one of OpenAI's agents went rogue during a test exercise - the company has said it was supposed to "look up answers, and available statistics for questions about Australia during an internal evaluation".
- In the process it "infiltrated" a private statistics portal containing "non-sensitive" data from Australia's universal healthcare scheme Medicare, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
