OpenAI admits response to Australian government hacks 'not good enough'

"The reason why it happened the way that it did is I think people were thinking about this as a technical situation and they wanted to contact the technical counterparties, but it's not good enough."Kwon said the company has changed how it handles such incidents."Even if we don't fully understand the situation, we are just going to notify and start working through the situation collaboratively with the impacted party."OpenAI has also added "more precautions" to its training environments since the incidents, Kwon told the 12-member committee, which is made up of Labor, Liberal and independent MPs and senators looking at AI and its impact on Australia.The company was also establishing a local taskforce in Australia to investigate "how to better manage the risks associated with increasingly capable AI", it said.Kwon told the committee that training models were now monitored in real time during tests, and that an alarm was triggered if they interacted with the internet in a way they were not meant to.This meant that OpenAI had been able to alert the New South Wales government to another hack last week within 48 hours.The company would also support a framework on mandatory disclosure of incidents, Kwon said, as it would set out "clear expectations".
