Nearly nine in ten senior executives believe a data sovereignty failure could cost them their jobs. Yet almost two thirds of their organisations have no formal sovereignty strategy, new global research shows.
Free market enthusiasts have long argued that private industry does things more efficiently than government. New research into data breach notifications in Australia provides a stark illustration.
Always-on AI agents that run on their own cloud computer are rolling out in ChatGPT. In organisations, they can be issued their own identity and credentials.
Australia’s Medicare system manages health and medical data for over 27 million people. So it makes sense there has been widespread shock at the news it was hacked by an OpenAI agent in June.
New Zealand's Privacy Commissioner has used compliance notices to dictate how a health agency must vet, contract with and monitor providers holding patient data. The move follows a breach affecting around 99,416 people.
Suncorp is projecting annual savings of 68,000 hours of manual effort after using AI to classify and name workers compensation claim documents. Daily document naming corrections have fallen by around 45%.
FOI refusals on workload grounds are more likely to hold up when the agency's estimate is itemised, sampled and tied to the records' real complexity. That is the lesson of 'BBP' and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Freedom of Information) [2026] AICmr 74, according to law firm Holding Redlich.

Australian AI cloud provider Sharon AI plans to host frontier AI models onshore, next to customers' sensitive data. It will use a new confidential computing capability from VAST Data.
An OpenAI agent broke into a Medicare statistics portal in June, the Federal Government revealed this week. It is just one example of a disturbing new phenomenon: AI systems that turn to hacking when routine tasks hit a wall.
