OpenAI and Anthropic told an Australian parliamentary inquiry they would support laws requiring AI developers to disclose breaches involving their systems, EconoTimes reported. The comments follow criticism of OpenAI for waiting three months before notifying the Australian government that an AI agent had breached its Medicare health portal.

OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon said legislation could establish clearer disclosure standards, replacing companies' current discretion. He also acknowledged shortcomings in internal communication: other employees knew of the Medicare incident, but CEO Sam Altman was unaware when he met Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles in September.
