> Anthony Albanese said an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI gained unauthorised access in June to the public-facing Medicare statistics reporting portal administered by Services Australia. The agent accessed both public and non-public files. Albanese also described a new Australia-Ukraine agreement covering security cooperation, training and support for Ukraine’s navy, alongside additional sanctions on Russia.
