Today, the federal Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic revealed an interim response from the Australian government on the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Key Points: 
  • Today, the federal Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic revealed an interim response from the Australian government on the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI).
  • The public, especially the Australian public, have real concerns about AI.
  • By 2030, it may increase the Australian economy by 40%, adding A$600 billion to our annual gross domestic product.
  • Some 69% of Australians, compared to just 23% of Japanese, were worried about the use of AI.

What are the main points in the government’s response on AI?

  • First, there’s a plan to work with industry to develop voluntary AI Safety Standards.
  • Second, there’s also a plan to work with industry to develop options for voluntary labelling and watermarking of AI-generated materials.
  • And finally, the government will set up an expert advisory body to “support the development of options for mandatory AI guardrails”.

A little late?

  • It’s hard not to conclude then that the federal government’s most recent response is a little light and a little late.

    How AI could take over elections – and undermine democracy

    We’ve already seen deepfakes used in recent elections in Argentina and Slovakia.

  • The European Union has led the way in the regulation of AI – it started drafting regulation back in 2020.

A risk-based approach

  • Like the EU, the Australian government’s interim response proposes a risk-based approach.
  • For example, you likely get a lot less spam email thanks to AI filters.
  • But there are other areas, such as the judiciary and policing, where the impact of AI could be more problematic.
  • However, the biggest risk the report fails to address is the risk of missing out.
  • AI is a great opportunity, as great or greater than the internet.
