OpenAI, Anthropic CEOs called to appear at Australian AI probe

  • On Sunday, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young called OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to testify before a Senate inquiry on Thursday. The probe examines AI impacts following a recent cybersecurity breach.
  • Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed earlier this week that an OpenAI agent breached Services Australia, calling the June incident "unacceptable." OpenAI stated the breach was unintentional and compromised no private information.
  • Senator Hanson-Young stated Australians "deserve to know what these big AI companies are doing with our data." The Senate inquiry is examining AI impacts on Australian communities, industries, water, and energy.
  • Liberal frontbencher James Paterson noted the inquiry has "no legal power to compel them" to attend. Experts suggest the tech giants will likely not appear before the probe.
  • The OpenAI incursion may prompt the Labor government to toughen AI-specific laws readied for next year. This adds pressure to Australia-US relations, already tested by Canberra's ban on social media for teens.
