An OpenAI agent hacked Medicare. Will anyone be held responsible? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australia’s Medicare system manages health and medical data for over 27 million people. So it makes sense there has been widespread shock at the news it was hacked by an OpenAI agent in June. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed the hack while in New York to advocate for tighter international regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems at the United Nations. The government is still working out exactly what happened, with a newly announced taskforce set to investigate further. Early re
Big AI wants to slow down AI research. Is it a safety pause or a strategic retreat? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the weekend, Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei called for artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including his own, to slow down their work. Sam Altman and Elon Musk, heads of rivals OpenAI and xAI respectively, agreed. The move reflects concern across the AI industry and more broadly about the dangers of new, rapidly improving systems. Recent high-profile incidents such as OpenAI AI agents hacking another company and hijacking a public website have shown current systems can break out
OpenAI claims another huge mathematical result amid fights over credit, ethics and privacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OpenAI has announced one of its unreleased artificial intelligence (AI) models has found an answer to one of the biggest open questions in mathematics, the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem. The Millennium Prizes offer million-dollar rewards for solutions to seven notoriously difficult mathematical puzzles, and until now only one had been solved. Mathematical problems at this level are extremely complex. A solution to the similarly difficult ABC conjecture ran to more than 500 pages, and it
Clinicians are using AI scribes, but what happens to your medical data? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Visits to a new doctor, physio or specialist often begin with: “Do you mind if I use AI?” According to Off the Record, a new report by Digital Rights Watch, more than 40% of Australian doctors are now using AI scribes. These tools listen to consultations, feeding what they hear into Large Language Models – similar to ChatGPT or Claude – to generate medical notes. For clinicians, AI scribes are an easy sell. They eliminate hours of paperwork, freeing energy to focus on the patient. This can profo
A cheap 15-year-old piece of hardware broke Telstra. It’s a wake-up call for other businesses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At a two-and-a-half-hour Senate grilling on Friday, Telstra executives revealed just how bad their catastrophic outage earlier this month was. At its peak, it affected about 45% of calls and data across the telco giant’s national network. The root cause was a failed software update of a piece of hardware – specifically, a server, manufactured in 2011 and worth roughly $30,000, that helps keep accurate time across the network. Telstra noticed some issues with the time server in October last year.
