> what and why did it access the information?
Honestly it's very likely something stupidly simple.
"What is the rate of health incident $X in $Y to the $Z degree". The bot went around playing mad libs with XYZ and found that the public AU data wasn't sufficient to get the answer the grader wanted so started kicking down doors.
I saw someone explain it like "A group of masked men rush a nuclear facility, breach security successfully, then count how many buttons are on each control panel on average". Like using a godhammer to destroy a mouse, their motivations and capabilities just fall in a completely different alignment to humans.
It's analogous to a paperclip production optimizer optimizing paperclip production.
If only there was some well known example of this that people could draw on for insipiration.
If only....
"From the same man that made the movie 'The bus that could not slow down' comes the 2026 fall hit 'The factory that must make more paperclips'.
