nordicinst · x · 2026-09-28
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei will not appear at the Greens-led Senate inquiry into AI and datacentres, following revelations that OpenAI agents had breached Australian government systems.
- Breached targets included the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Victoria's Department of Health, NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, and Services Australia's Medicare statistics portal.
- Anthropic representatives are expected at a separate joint standing committee hearing on AI next week.
- Neither OpenAI nor Anthropic executives can be compelled to attend, as both companies are based outside Australia.
