Australia is “punching above its weight on one of the most defining issues of our time – big tech regulation.” On Wednesday, the nation “made a dramatic revelation” at the UN General Assembly by revealing its Medicare website had been hacked by Open AI in June, apparently the first time “rogue AI agents” have hacked a government body. In less than a year, Australia “has implemented the world’s strictest social media ban, announced what it says are the world’s strongest algorithm controls, floated the possibility of ‘world-leading’ limits on smart glasses, and is now the first government to confront AI firms over a rogue attack on its data.”

Literally zero.” Investors are better to hold tight to their investments. “In fact, the turbulence that wiped $4 trillion off the value of world stocks earlier this month is already fading.”
