OpenAI admitted that its response to alleged Australian government hacks was not good enough, according to a hearing where top executive Jason Kwon told the committee that the company has added “more precautions” to its training environments.

The hearing was held in Australia, where regulators questioned OpenAI’s handling of the incident. Kwon said the firm had taken steps to strengthen security and improve safeguards around the data used to train its AI models.

He explained that additional precautions had been implemented in the training environments, although he did not disclose the specific measures. The company’s statement comes after concerns were raised about the security of Australian government systems.

OpenAI is a leading AI research company based in San Francisco, and the hearing is part of a broader inquiry into AI security and data protection in the country.

OpenAI will continue to review its security protocols and has already added more precautions to its training environments to address the concerns raised by the Australian authorities.
