• HOUSTON, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LyondellBasell (LYB), a global leader in the chemical industry, is proud to announce the release of a cross-linkable, all-in-one flame-retardant compound, Petrothene T3XL7420, which is expected to deliver considerable cost savings while streamlining manufacturing processes.
• This new product offering also improves the quality of end products for wire producers in the automotive and appliance industries.
• Based on customer demand and industry need, LyondellBasell designed this innovative compound to address the need to optimize production line speeds and enhance manufacturing efficiency.
• Petrothene T3XL7420 has undergone rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure its quality and reliability.

• 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.

• 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.
