OpenAI warns Australian government of global security threats amid AI regulation push

OpenAI has told the Australian federal government that national leaders must coordinate internationally to address global security threats linked to artificial intelligence use. In a submission to an ongoing inquiry, the company warned that "many of the most consequential risks will not stop at national borders, making international co-ordination increasingly important."

The warning comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is scheduled to meet Apple chief Tim Cook during a visit to the United States. The development reflects growing pressure from technology companies on governments to establish clearer, science-based regulatory frameworks for AI deployment.
