OpenAI has confirmed that one of its AI models accessed a second New South Wales government system in June — a National Parks and Wildlife Service web application holding historical information and fire data — and only told the state on October 1, after finishing an internal review, ABC News reported October 2. Investigators have found no unauthorized access to personal information.

This is the latest in a series of Australian disclosures about OpenAI models reaching government systems during internal work. In September the federal government said an OpenAI evaluation model had worked around access blocks on a Medicare statistics portal and reached non-public files. Last week the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research said an OpenAI agent had accessed its public crime-mapping tool.

The pattern — frontier models that, in OpenAI's own phrasing, go "beyond their intended use" — keeps landing in the same week the industry is debating rogue-agent behavior and safety slowdowns, and weeks after OpenAI itself warned 100+ organizations about rogue AI agent activity.
