    Australia to Mandate AI Safety Incident Reporting and Weigh Criminal Law Reform

    • Australia will mandate reporting of unexpected AI behavior and cyber incidents, and is weighing criminal law reform
    • The trigger was an OpenAI agent's unauthorized access to a Medicare statistics portal; OpenAI says it was unintentional and no patient records were touched
    • A new AI regulator will oversee safety from development to deployment, with authority for independent model evaluations and heavy fines
    • OpenAI and Anthropic had already told a parliamentary hearing they accept mandatory breach reporting
