Should OpenAI have to report an AI hack the moment it happens?

The federal government is exploring whether to force tech companies to immediately report it when an artificial intelligence agent breaches a website, after OpenAI took months to reveal one of its agents had accessed a Medicare data portal. An OpenAI agent got into public and private files containing information about government health programs in June, but the company didn't tell Services Australia until September. Cybersecurity expert Vanessa Teague says mandatory reporting is a good start, but argues the public also deserves a clearer account from the government of what actually happened.
