I’m sure the kinks are being worked out. (I’m joking).

The Australian government is reviewing whether it should involve the federal police after the agent accessed non-public files from the social and health services agency, Services Australia, in June.

OpenAI alerted the Australian government on September 10—almost three months after the hack-by sending an email to a public mailbox. The company had reportedly been aware of the incident since August.

“There will obviously be legal consequences on it,” Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese said as he disclosed the “unacceptable” incident. He said OpenAI’s notification took “way too long” and should not have just gone through a public inbox.

“It was a shock that it occurred, because it was real and serious,” Albanese said about the incident. “But it also, I think, was something that had been predicted, including by the AI companies themselves.”

agents don't hack independently. human beings operating them direct them. they are responsible. if I built a machine that automatically shot a gun I would go to jail, not the machine.

The people building these AI capabilities need to be held criminally accountable for any crimes committed by their AI agents.

What law did it break? Is there a person held responsible here, or is it just another Section 230 situation indemnifing tech bros from culpability for the damage they cause?
