"Earlier this month, Australia’s long-anticipated
National AI Plan was
released to a mixed reception.
The plan shifts away from the government’s previously promised mandatory AI
safeguards. Instead, it’s positioned as a whole-of-government roadmap for
building an “AI-enabled economy”.
The plan has raised alarm bells among experts for its lack of specificity,
measurable targets, and clarity.
Globally, incidents of AI harm are growing. From major cyber crime breaches
using deepfakes to disinformation campaigns fuelled by generative AI, the lack
of accountability is staggering. In Australia, AI-generated child sexual abuse
material is rapidly spreading, and existing laws are failing to protect
victims.
Without dedicated AI regulation, Australia will leave the most vulnerable at
risk of harm. But there are frameworks elsewhere in the world that we can learn
from."
