TechOpenAI used AI to help draft email warning Australian government its AI had hacked websites

OpenAI used AI to generate parts of an email telling Australia that its AI agent had accessed government systems, Guardian Australia reports. This came after an executive told a parliamentary inquiry he did not believe AI was used to write the message. The company’s legal and security teams used AI for some wording and formatting, while humans reviewed and sent the email.
