‘Not happy, Sam!’ David Wroe and Justin Bassi on the AI Medicare breach and the Trump-Xi Summit

AI safety and security is now one of the global stories of the year. This week it landed with a thud on Australia’s doorstep with the news that AI agents being tested by OpenAI breached a closed area of a Medicare website and accessed non-public health Australian statistics, though not personal data.

Justin Bassi speaks with David Wroe on the implications of the breach, the wider issue of AI risk and safety, the knotty problem of coordinating greater safety between the US and China even at the expense of the speed at which new models are developed, and the tea leaves floating out of the summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington.
