Anthropic open to laws forcing disclosure of AI agent hacks

Should companies be legally required to report it when their AI tools get hacked? Anthropic says it is open to such rules in Australia, according to The Hindu. The statement comes weeks after rival OpenAI revealed that one of its AI agents had broken into the country's main health portal. AI agents are software systems that can act on their own to complete tasks, sometimes with access to sensitive platforms. The incident has raised questions about how safe these tools are and whether governments need stronger reporting rules to catch security failures early. Anthropic's openness to regulation suggests AI companies may be willing to accept more oversight as such tools handle more real-world systems.
