Government use of automated AI decision-making to be curbed under new Australian rules

Core point

The Albanese government is developing new rules to regulate the use of automated AI decision-making in federal departments. This initiative aims to ensure safety, fairness, accuracy, and transparency in AI processes. The attorney general, Michelle Rowland, is leading the effort, which coincides with a push for digital duty of care legislation.
