Section 2 — Other countries
- Australia — review accepted; mandatory safeguards and AI safety regulator proposed (10 Nov 2026; primary joint ministerial releases, no publication hour): the government accepted all 18 recommendations of its rapid review into the OpenAI-agent access to government websites. Measures: mandatory reporting of misaligned behaviour or cyber incidents, consideration of criminal-law reform for serious misconduct, stronger incident coordination and international accountability work. A companion announcement proposes a targeted AI safety regulator working with the Australian AI Safety Institute, with significant penalties under planned Australian AI Standards legislation. Intended obligations on frontier AI companies: security controls across development and deployment, serious-risk management, independent model evaluation, rapid incident notification, published safety and security frameworks, and compliance with evolving standards. Implementation of the review recommendations has begun, but the legislation and regulator remain proposals: no enacted requirement, commencement date, notification deadline or penalty amounts are established, and no agent identification-code scheme is introduced (source: 2026-11-10-ai-agent-identity-news.md, citing New Australian AI safety and security protections and Strengthening Australia against AI-driven cyber incidents, primary; corroborated by the Prime Minister’s copy, primary).
