Australia accepts all 18 recommendations of its review into an OpenAI agent's Medicare portal access, including mandatory incident reporting and a criminal failure-to-prevent offence, while Brussels questions OpenAI and Anthropic about their incidents. Also: the Claude Fable 5.2 system card's alignment and cyber numbers, OpenAI's fail-closed Control Room, and evidence that reward-hacking model organisms don't hack like real models.

- Mandatory reporting to be introduced when AI 'goes rogue' - Medical Republic — Alyssa Talakovski
““We accept all of the recommendations, and we’ve commenced work to implement them,” Mr Albanese told reporters at a press conference in Canberra today.”
- Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 Beats GPT-6 Cyber in Multi-Stage Cyberattack Benchmark — Ravie Lakshmanan

“Finally, our system “fails closed”, meaning that the Control Room integration in the engines is configured in such a way that if the Control Room service goes down, either due to a system error or because it is disabled for any other reason, including tampering by a bad actor,…”
- Current Reward Hacking Model Organisms Don’t Hack Like Real Models — LessWrong — Lesswrong
“We showed that there are substantial differences between how current reward hacking model organisms and open-weight frontier models behave when placed in hackable versions of production RL environments.”
