OpenAI has 'work to do to rebuild trust' in Australia, executive tells AI inquiry
OpenAI has'work to do to rebuild trust' in Australia, executive tells AI inquiry Mon 5 Oct 2026 20.53 EDTLast modified on Tue 6 Oct 2026 03.33 EDT Accept'bad things' in return for benefits of AI, says Sam Altman "We've just shared information about how the training works, and then discussed what its implications would be with respect to our capacity to operate here," he said. Anthropic suggests current Australian laws mean AI companies need to obtain a licence for the use of every piece of content on the internet as training material. Bleich said this was "technically impossible". Anthropic was keen to explore what the Australian government wants to do to incentivise training in Australia, and Bleich said Australia could shape frontier models if they were trained here, otherwise it would ultimately rely on models trained elsewhere. The multibillion-dollar company notified the government via an email to a public-facing address three months after the breach.

Image caption, The UK's existing Sky Sabre air defence system, seen in 2022 at the Royal Artillery's change of colours parade at Baker Barracks, Thorney Island The Conservatives have pledged to invest in a new missile and drone defence system if voted into government at the next election. Branding it Britannia Shield, the party said it would spend up to ยฃ10bn over a decade on an integrated network of radar, command and control systems, as well as interceptor missiles. In a speech to the Conservative Party conference on Tuesday, shadow defence secretary James Cartlidge will describe it as the most significant upgrade to UK air defence for generations. In response, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said the Tories had an abysmal record of defending Britain during their 14 years in power, adding: They owe Britain an apology, not another lecture. The Tories described their plans as a British'Iron Dome', a reference to Israel's elaborate air defence system .
I won't accept exclusion, says Polanski after criticism of Zionist motion
I won't accept exclusion, says Polanski after criticism of Zionist motion Zack Polanski has said he will not accept anyone being excluded from the Green Party because of the religious or communal body they are part of, after members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. The Green leader said no-one will be made unwelcome because of their background, their faith, or where they worship. The motion defines Zionism as an ideology supporting an ethnonationalist Jewish state and backs a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine. It comes after more than a dozen Labour MPs reported the Greens to the equality watchdog on Monday, saying it raised serious questions. Tensions exposed among Greens by'Zionism is racism' conference vote Nine Labour MPs have also referred the Green Party to Sussex Police, asking the force to investigate whether alleged possible antisemitic offences at the conference merit a criminal investigation. Sussex Police and the Green Party have been contacted for comment.

Author and former politician Jeffrey Archer dies aged 86
Bestselling author and former politician Jeffrey Archer has died at the age of 86. Archer sold more than 300 million books in his five-decade writing career, including the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel, and often set the novels in his home town of Wellington, Somerset. In a statement, Archer's publisher HarperCollins said the author died suddenly and peacefully at home on Monday between writing sessions. The former Conservative MP was jailed for perjury in 2001 after being found guilty of lying and cheating in his 1987 libel case against the Daily Star. Archer was born in north London on 15 April 1940 but would quickly move to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, where his family bought a house from John Cleese's mother.
