Promoting safe and responsible AI
AI is part of our daily lives and will transform every sector of the economy and society. AI will:
- allow us to quickly do simple tasks, like writing emails or summarising documents
- drive automation in manufacturing, agriculture and the care sector, where acute skills shortages persist
- improve decision-making
- introduce new ways of tailoring services for people.
As AI becomes more pervasive it can also present risks, scaling up errors and biases in ways that cause real harm to people.
The Australian Government has listened to feedback on AI and is acting to make sure AI systems in Australia are safe and reliable. We are taking steps to:
- support and promote best practice for safety
- work with global partners on the safe development and deployment of AI
- support AI capability in Australia and drive responsible AI adoption.
Building AI capability and driving adoption
We are supporting Australia to become a global leader in developing and adopting trusted, secure and responsible AI.
AI is a critical technology with the capacity to impact Australia’s national interest. This includes our national security, economic prosperity and social cohesion.
Keeping Australians safe
To protect Australians and maintain trust and confidence in AI systems, we’re committed to understanding and responding to advanced AI.
