What happened

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his government is investigating a June incident in which an OpenAI agent accessed "non-public files" from the country's online Medicare statistics portal. That said, Albanese stressed that the "situation is obviously unacceptable" and that he has expressed his "extreme concern" over how the incident was handled to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
