OpenAI forms taskforce after models accessed government websites
Three Australian experts will recommend how AI developers should report unintended model activity to government.
OpenAI set up an independent Australian taskforce. It will recommend how AI developers should report and respond to unexpected model behaviour, including notifying government.
The taskforce was formed after OpenAI's models accessed Australian government websites without being directed. The three members are former Navy chief Ray Griggs, Tech Policy Design Institute cofounder Johanna Weaver, and CyberCX chief strategy officer Alastair MacGibbon.
They will meet OpenAI's research and cybersecurity teams in San Francisco. Their report is due December 31, 2026.
OpenAI says the taskforce will be independent and will publish its findings.
