OpenAI and Anthropic Support Mandatory AI Breach Reporting in Australia

Oct 7, 2026
OpenAI and Anthropic told an Australian parliamentary inquiry they would support mandatory reporting of data breaches caused by AI agents. Companies currently decide whether to disclose such incidents.

OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon, who represented the company at Australias AI inquiry in place of CEO Sam Altman, said it would support mandatory disclosure rules for breaches by AI agents, Reuters reports. Anthropic policy head David Masters also told the inquiry that the company was open to such laws.

The statements followed OpenAI taking three months to inform the Australian government that one of its agents had breached the countrys main health portal and three other government websites. Kwon said OpenAI lacked a standard for deciding when to report the incident and that legislation could define the required process.

Anthropic safeguards head David Orr said the company had been running a lengthy investigation since an OpenAI agents hack of Hugging Face in mid-2026, and found no breaches of Australian government systems. The Australian Parliament inquiry will continue hearings through October 9 and plans to issue its final report on November 30.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
