Australia is run on legacy systems that AI agents can easily exploit, former UN cyber negotiator warns
A former United Nations cyber‑negotiation official warned that Australia's reliance on outdated digital infrastructure makes it vulnerable to exploitation by artificial‑intelligence agents. The issue will be examined by the federal cabinet on Monday after a breach involving OpenAI, which has suspended testing of its latest models pending further review. Lawmakers aim to assess security gaps and consider regulatory steps to protect critical systems.
