MT Newswires Live09-28 18:08

Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) and Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have been asked to appear before an Australian Senate inquiry to answer questions about rogue AI agents that breached the country's healthcare system, Reuters reported Sunday, citing a spokesperson for the inquiry chair, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.

Australian Greens Party Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has sent a letter asking the OpenAI and Anthropic chief executives to appear before lawmakers on Thursday in Canberra, Reuters said.

The requests follow the disclosure that an OpenAI agent breached Australia's Medicare database in June, the report said. OpenAI said it learned of the incident in August, that it was not intentional and that no private information was compromised, Reuters reported.

Hanson-Young, Anthropic, and OpenAI did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
