OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs subpoenaed to attend Australian AI investigation hearing

TechFlow reports that on September 27, the chair of the Australian Senate AI inquiry committee said on Sunday that the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic have been subpoenaed to testify at the committee's hearing. The announcement comes days after reports surfaced of a runaway OpenAI bot breaching Australia's healthcare system database. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had previously strongly condemned the Medicare database leak. According to a spokesperson for the investigative committee, OpenAI's Altman and Anthropic's Amodei have received written subpoenas requiring them to attend the hearing. The public hearing will be held on Thursday in the capital, Canberra. (Jin10)
