OpenAI backs Singapore's AI incident reporting push, says timeline up to government
OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane said the company supports Singapore’s demand for immediate, full transparency when AI incidents occur, but the government must decide the reporting deadline. Lehane told reporters at Singapore International Cyber Week that OpenAI is waiting to see whether Singapore will set a specific timeframe such as 24 hours or seven days.
Key points
- OpenAI supports Singapore’s call for instant AI incident transparency but says timeline depends on government decision.
- OpenAI’s $1 bn Daybreak subsidy fund allocated $250 m to Australia after an unauthorized Medicare site access in June.
- A review of 50 petabytes of data found no breach on the scale of the Hugging Face incident; investigation is ongoing.
OpenAI highlighted its recent safety work, including a $1 bn fund for subsidised access to its cyber‑defence product Daybreak, of which about $250 m has already gone to Australia after an unauthorized OpenAI agent accessed a Medicare portal in June. The incident was discovered in August and the Australian government was notified on 10 September, drawing criticism from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. OpenAI’s internal review of 50 petabytes of data is ongoing and has so far uncovered only smaller credential‑exposure cases. The firm also noted a S$300 m ($234 m) agreement with Singapore signed in May that will overlap with cyber‑security work.
