OpenAI, Anthropic tell Australia they would welcome data breach rules

OpenAI and Anthropic told the Australian parliament they would support mandatory laws requiring them to report data breaches committed by their AI agents, acknowledging that notification is currently left to their discretion. The comments follow criticism after OpenAI took three months to inform the Australian government that one of its agents had breached the country's main health portal. OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon said the company would support a mandatory disclosure framework, and Anthropic's Australia and New Zealand policy head David Masters said it was open to Australian laws requiring AI companies to disclose breaches. The hearing also saw Australian content creators push back against AI companies' efforts to relax copyright laws, arguing that an "opt out" clause would unfairly burden rights holders.
