The Medicare breach, condemned by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, is one of the highest-profile incidents of AI agents accessing external systems outside the US
OpenAI has paused all training, evaluation and tool-based use of its most capable artificial intelligence models after an AI agent in one of its training runs got around the company's internet restrictions. The agent, OpenAI said, bypassed the curbs through a gap in its Domain Name System (DNS) filtering and used it to send questions to a public chatbot service. According to a report by OpenAI, the pause will stay in place until OpenAI has confirmed that the gap is resolved and has carried out further security testing of its systems. "Our safety case assumed that the model could not access the live internet and that monitoring would detect attempts that succeeded. The incident exposed a gap in our controls over network restrictions. We therefore stopped the affected training run and have subsequently decided to pause all other training, evaluation, and inference with tool-use (defined broadly) for our most capable models until we have both validated that the gap is resolved and ...

Four paid subscribers file class action in California, alleging Sherman Act violations following public calls for safety-driven deceleration
A new lawsuit claims Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and Google made an illegal deal to slow the pace of their respective AI development. The lawsuit, which was filed Friday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, argues that the leading AI companies violated antitrust laws when they agreed to coordinate slowdown efforts, and that doing so would reduce the value consumers get for paid AI subscriptions. The coordination largely took place on September 12, the lawsuit argues, when Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging for industry-wide cooperation on decelerating advancements in favour of enhanced safety measures. That same day, OpenAI's Sam Altman, SpaceXAI's Elon Musk and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis each publicly responded to Amodei's proposals in agreement. It's clear that an agreement among the chief rivals in AI that their progress "should be slower than competition would otherwise produce has an anticompetitive effect on consumers," the
