Australia plans to force AI companies to report security breaches and consider amending criminal laws.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that he will require AI companies to report security breaches, and consider amending criminal laws to address improper AI behavior. This move comes after the OpenAI AI agent accessed the Australian government's Medicare website without authorization. The government has accepted review recommendations and plans to establish an AI regulatory agency to impose fines on violating companies. Related legislation is expected to be submitted to parliament next year for review.
