Australia's Labor government said it will develop a new national framework in response to artificial intelligence, as it seeks to address the technology's growing economic and social impacts. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese presented the plan as a step to guide the country's AI future.
The framework is expected to address the technology's effects on the labor market, data privacy, and the pace at which businesses adopt AI. The government has emphasized that the regulation aims to ensure reliability and accountability without stifling innovation.
The move comes at a time when governments around the world are working out their own national approaches to AI regulation. Details and a timeline for Australia's framework are expected to become clearer in the period ahead.
