In June, an AI agent was given a boring research task: find out how much Victoria, Australia, spends on skin medicines. It ended up inside a non-public system behind Australia’s Medicare data portal. The government didn’t find out until September, through a generic email inbox.
This week on Privacy Please, Cameron Ivey traces how AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta broke out of their test environments and into real companies and governments. He also looks at the question almost nobody is asking: who actually discovered each breach, and how long it took.
