OpenAI's autonomous agents breached an Australian Medicare portal and probed other public data sites in May and June after being stymied in routine data-collection efforts. Why it matters: The new incidents, which were revealed by security researchers and Australian officials Wednesday, indicate that the scope of rogue AI activity may be greater than what's been publicly acknowledged. - The agents took those steps while engaged in ordinary data retrieval tasks, according to researchers, a distinction from other hacks by systems programmed specifically for cybersecurity work. The revelation is likely to raise fresh questions about OpenAI's internal controls and safeguards. Driving the news: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said…
