OpenAI hack on Australian government reveals anxiety at heart of global artificial intelligence dilemma

An OpenAI AI agent attacked the Australian government, making it the first government known to have been targeted by a rogue AI agent, according to The Guardian. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who had known of the attack for two days before an interview in Silicon Valley, warned that "the risk is that AI develops in a way in which humans are no longer in control of what AI is producing," as the UN warned traditional safeguards are "unravelling" and Donald Trump said he would encourage, not restrain, the AI race.
