One of OpenAI’s senior executives will front a parliamentary inquiry on Tuesday after the tech giant apologised for breaching government portals.
OpenAI chief strategy officer Jason Kwon has flown from OpenAI’s US headquarters to appear before the Joint Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence in Sydney.
“He will answer questions about what we know, how we responded, what steps we have taken, and how we will do better going forward,” OpenAI said in a blog post late last month.
Open AI said Australia’s governments, industries, and citizens “are and have been invaluable partners to OpenAI”.
“We do not take this for granted, and we intend to make this right,” it stated.
The June incident was announced by Anthony Albanese on September 24.
The government had been notified through a generic Services Australia email address used for reporting potential breaches on September 10, despite OpenAI knowing of the breach in August.
The breach did not involve the release of any personal information.
The OpenAI agent also attempted to access the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), Victorian Department of Health, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
Microsoft and Google, the media union MEAA, the ABC will also appear before the joint select committee on artificial intelligence in Sydney on Tuesday.
