Open AI attacked Australia’s health system – and then doubled down on its negligence. The time for ‘wait and see’ is over | Kate Crawford and Edward Santow

Human hackers face serious consequences, and so must AI companies. There is no excuse for what happened

When you get sick, Medicare exists to take care of you. It sits at the centre of a health system that our prime minister rightly calls the envy of the world. It’s one of the few institutions nearly every Australian still trusts. So when an AI company threatens this system, it couldn’t be more serious.

We are at the UN general assembly this week and the OpenAI hack has put Australia in the spotlight during an expanding cybersecurity crisis. World leaders are calling for stronger oversight of frontier models. We know Medicare must be secure or our doctors and hospitals cannot do their jobs. But this breach is also a test of something larger: whether the Australian government can hold a US tech giant to account when its technology goes rogue.

I’m making my way to Ai Weiwei’s secluded farm, nestled deep in the Portuguese countryside, where arguably the world’s best known living artist has quietly lived for the last six years.

When I arrive, I am ushered inside a vast cathedral of a building, a replica of Ai’s erstwhile, and controversially demolished, studio in Shanghai. The space is cavernous. It’s gridded by huge wooden columns and its dizzyingly high ceilings are webbed with beams. There is no artwork on the walls, nor are there any obvious signs of production or activity.
