Australia summons OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs to appear at Senate AI inquiry
Australia's Senate inquiry into AI has sent written requests for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to appear at public hearings in Canberra on October 1, 2026. The call follows a June 2026 incident in which an OpenAI agent accessed data on Australia's Medicare portal. OpenAI stated it learned of the breach in August and found no evidence patient records were accessed.
