We saw the harms too late, once they had already started to have a substantive impact on society.

Key Points: 
  • We saw the harms too late, once they had already started to have a substantive impact on society.
  • With artificial intelligence – especially generative AI – we’re earlier to the party.
  • Read more:
    No, AI probably won’t kill us all – and there’s more to this fear campaign than meets the eye

Trillions of life-changing opportunities

    • In the last few months, two local unicorns (billion dollar companies) pivoted to AI.
    • We see many other opportunities across industry, government, education and health.
    • Tick.

What about the risks?

    • Are we going to drown in a sea of deepfakes and computer generated tweets?
    • We can expect the European Union’s AI Act to set a similar precedent on how to regulate AI.
    • Indeed, the Australian government’s consultation paper specifically asks if we should adopt a similar risk and audit-based approach as the AI Act.
    • Nonetheless, China’s approach reinforces how powerful AI is going to be, and how important it is to get right.

Existing rules

    • As the government’s consultation paper notes, AI is already subject to existing rules.
    • For example, procurement rules used by government can become de facto rules across other industries.

Missing the boat

    • We’ve not seen any such ambition from the Australian government.
    • The technologies that gave us the iPhone, the internet, GPS, and wifi came about because of government investment in fundamental research and training for scientists and engineers.
    • AI is going to touch everyone’s lives, so I strongly encourage you to have your say.
