OpenAI, Anthropic tell Australia they would welcome data breach rules

Key Points:

• OpenAI and Anthropic expressed support for laws mandating AI companies to report data breaches, acknowledging current reporting is voluntary, following criticism over OpenAI's delayed notification of a breach in Australia's health portal.
• OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon emphasized the need for legal frameworks to standardize breach reporting, while Anthropic also confirmed openness to mandatory disclosure laws after several hacking incidents involving their AI agents.
• Australian content creators opposed proposals to ease copyright laws for AI companies, arguing that current licensing requirements protect their rights and that an "opt out" system would unfairly burden rights holders.
• The Australian government is considering new AI regulations, including data breach reporting and copyright protections, as it evaluates large AI data center projects planned in the country.
• The parliamentary inquiry into AI governance continues through October, with a final report expected by November 30.
