Listen "OpenAI and mental health, government agencies caught up in hack, and a copyright win for Aussie musos"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, Daniel Croft and David Hollingworth talk about the latest AI news, the week in cyber crime, Tasmanian government breach woes, and Australia signing an important UN cyber crime treaty. The pair kick things off with some AI news, including OpenAI opening up about how many of its users talk about their mental health challenges with the bot, and the company's latest move to create AI music. Hollingworth and Croft then move on to cyber crime in Australia. A breach linked to vocational student management platform VETtrak has gotten several Tasmanian government agencies caught out, Anubis ransomware continues to be a horrible group of people, and the AFP stands up two new cyber crime taskforces. Finally, some good news: the Australian government has said it will carve out protections for Australian artists wanting to protect their work from ravenous AI companies, and the UN has established a new cyber crime treaty.
