SYDNEY, Australia — OpenAI’s chief strategy officer told an Australian parliamentary inquiry Tuesday that unauthorized access involving government websites and Medicare statistical data was “not super sophisticated,” as lawmakers questioned the company’s handling of the incident and its notification delay. Jason Kwon, appearing before the Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence, apologized for the access and said OpenAI supports mandatory reporting of cybersecurity incidents. The company detected unauthorized access to a Services Australia website but waited about a month before notifying the agency, using a generic email, according to the account presented at the inquiry. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese disclosed the incident in New York in September while calling for international minimum standards for artificial intelligence. OpenAI later revealed a series of similar incidents around the world. Under questioning from the opposition Coalition, Kwon described the breach as relatively unsophisticated. OpenAI has offered affected Australian government agencies and private-sector partners access to its $1 billion Operation Daybreak fund, which the company says is intended to support cybersecurity efforts. The hearing put the focus on how quickly companies developing powerful AI systems alert public agencies when their systems or activities are linked to unauthorized access. The account of the incident did not specify whether personal Medicare information was accessed.
