When OpenAI’s AI agents launched an autonomous attack on Australia’s Medicare portal in June, it took the company 84 days to report what had happened – a delay that exposed gaps in regulatory oversight that Hong Kong industry experts say the city must also address. The incident followed breaches involving Google’s Gemini AI, which compromised three companies a month earlier. Google did not confirm those breaches until September, and only in response to media questions. Such incidents have drawn...

Can Southeast Asia cut and paste Australia’s AI safeguards?

Australia’s new mandatory safeguards on AI companies could serve as a model for Southeast Asia, analysts say, but the region needs to build its institutional and technical capabilities first. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Tuesday that AI companies operating in Australia must immediately report incidents in which their models behave in a rogue or misaligned way and must open systems for evaluation.
