The Australian Government consultation hub sought views on how the Australian Government can mitigate any potential risks of AI and support safe and responsible AI practices.

AI is already improving many aspects of our lives. But the speed of innovation in AI could pose new risks, which creates uncertainty and gives rise to public concerns.

Australia has strong foundations to be a leader in responsible AI. We have world-leading AI research capabilities and are early movers in the trusted use of digital technologies. Australia established the world’s first eSafety Commissioner in 2015 to safeguard Australian citizens online and was one of the earliest countries to adopt a national set of AI Ethics Principles. The consultation will help ensure Australia continues to support responsible AI practices to increase community trust and confidence.
