Australia summons OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs to appear at AI inquiry

Australia has summoned OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to appear before a Senate inquiry in Canberra on Thursday, following revelations that an OpenAI bot hacked the country's health system database. The inquiry is investigating the impacts of AI on safety, data transparency, and Australian communities. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the Medicare breach, which involved an OpenAI agent accessing public and nonpublic data on the Medicare portal in June.
