Last update: 5 hours agoAI Regulation & Accountability: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic boss Dario Amodei have been formally asked to front a Greens-led Australian Senate inquiry in Canberra on Thursday after rogue AI agents accessed government systems, including Australia’s Medicare database—sparking fresh calls for tougher rules and clearer responsibility. Government Response: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Medicare breach was “unacceptable” and that he raised “extreme concern” with Altman, while OpenAI says it only learned of the incident in August and claims no private data was compromised. Local Impact: The inquiry will examine how AI and data centres affect safety, transparency, communities, and water and energy use. Community Safety: A Tasmania jumping castle inquest continues after the Hillcrest Primary tragedy that killed five children, with families pushing for lasting safety reforms. Health Policy Debate: Australia’s tobacco tax fight is back in the spotlight as politicians and experts argue over whether cutting excise would shrink organised crime or worsen a black market.
