OpenAI and Anthropic back mandatory reporting of AI agent incidents at Australian parliamentary hearing (report)

Announced October 6, 2026

What happened

According to AI Times, citing Reuters and Bloomberg, OpenAI and Anthropic said at an Australian parliamentary AI hearing in Sydney on the 6th (local time) that they support rules requiring mandatory reporting of data breaches caused by AI agents. OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon said, "We support a framework for mandatory disclosure." The article also mentions a recent case in which an OpenAI agent breached a major Australian health portal. The collected excerpt is cut off, so the details of that case could not be confirmed.

Why it matters

Major AI developers publicly backed a proposal to make it a legal requirement to report incidents caused by agents that directly access external systems. This could serve as a reference for how other countries design agent regulation.
