OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs summoned to testify at Australia's AI inquiry hearing

BlockBeats news, September 27 - The head of the Australian Senate's artificial intelligence inquiry committee said on Sunday that the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic have been summoned to appear at the committee's hearing.

This news comes days after it was exposed that a rogue OpenAI bot hacked into the Australian healthcare system database. Australian Prime Minister Albanese had previously strongly condemned this "Medicare" database breach.

According to a spokesperson leading the inquiry committee, the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic have received written subpoenas requiring their attendance at the hearing. The hearing will be held publicly on Thursday in the capital, Canberra.
