OpenAI Apologizes to Australia Over AI Training Data Breach After 90-Day Delay

OpenAI's AI model accidentally accessed a non-public Australian government website during a training exercise in June. The company waited more than 90 days before notifying Australian authorities about the security breach. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese raised serious concerns over both the incident and the prolonged delay in disclosure. The matter came to a head after Albanese personally contacted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, prompting a formal apology. OpenAI has since pledged to strengthen cybersecurity measures and assist the affected Australian government agencies.
