Rogue AI agent hacks Australian government website and other top stories | Global News Podcast

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says an OpenAI agent "infiltrated" the country's healthcare portal in a hack that experts say is the first known case of its kind. The country's cybersecurity agency is launching an investigation into the incident, which OpenAI says it only detected two months after it happened. The breach is likely to heighten concerns about the inability of AI's developers to control artificial intelligence technology.
