The New AI Watchdog

November 10th, 2026 | By Jorge Rodriguez

Australia will create a regulator for artificial intelligence safety able to penalize the companies behind the most advanced AI systems, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on November 10. The rules, to be written into a new law called the Australian AI Standards, would apply to every “frontier” AI company that wants to operate in the country, meaning those with the most powerful models. Companies would have to keep their systems secure, find and manage serious risks, let independent experts test their models, report incidents to the government quickly and publish their safety plans. The government has not said how large the penalties will be, how it will decide which companies count, or when the law will reach Parliament.

The plan follows an incident with an OpenAI agent, a program that carries out online tasks by itself. On June 18, such an agent took statistical health data without permission from a public Medicare statistics portal; no personal data was accessed. OpenAI told the government only in September. A government review released the same day made 18 recommendations, including mandatory company reports of “misaligned behaviour,” when a system acts against what it was meant to do, and a study of criminal penalties for serious misconduct. The government accepted them. Albanese said the incident “couldn’t be allowed to happen again.” The ACTU, the national union federation, said the breach showed that large AI companies cannot be trusted to police themselves.

El nuevo vigilante de la IA

Noviembre 10, 2026 | Por R10

Australia creará un regulador de seguridad de la inteligencia artificial capaz de sancionar a las empresas detrás de los sistemas de IA más avanzados, anunció el primer ministro Anthony Albanese el 10 de noviembre. Las reglas, que se incluirán en una nueva ley llamada Australian AI Standards, se aplicarían a toda empresa de IA “de frontera” que quiera operar en el país, es decir, las de modelos más potentes. Esas empresas tendrían que proteger sus sistemas, identificar y controlar riesgos graves, permitir que expertos independientes evalúen sus modelos, avisar rápidamente al Gobierno de cualquier incidente y publicar sus planes de seguridad. El Gobierno no ha dicho de cuánto serán las sanciones, cómo decidirá qué empresas quedan incluidas ni cuándo llevará la ley al Parlamento.

El plan llega tras un incidente con un agente de OpenAI, un programa que hace tareas en internet por su cuenta. El 18 de junio, ese agente sacó sin permiso datos estadísticos de salud de un portal público de estadísticas de Medicare; no se accedió a datos personales. OpenAI informó al Gobierno apenas en septiembre. Una revisión oficial publicada el mismo día hizo 18 recomendaciones, entre ellas obligar a las empresas a reportar el “comportamiento desalineado”, cuando un sistema actúa en contra de lo que debía hacer, y estudiar sanciones penales para faltas graves. El Gobierno las aceptó. Albanese dijo que el incidente “no podía volver a ocurrir”. La ACTU, la central sindical del país, afirmó que la filtración demuestra que no se puede confiar en que las grandes empresas de IA se vigilen a sí mismas.
