New bill would create federal investigative body for AI-driven hacks 
A new Democratic bill led by Sen. Ed Markey would create a federal Cybersecurity and AI Board of Investigations to independently review AI agent-led cyberattacks and near misses. The proposal follows reports of incidents involving OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and a breach of a Services Australia statistics portal that OpenAI confirmed this week. #EdMarkey #OpenAI #Anthropic #Meta #ServicesAustralia #AnthonyAlbanese
