Australia announces national AI development roadmap

(CLO) Australia has announced a roadmap to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence (AI) across the economy.

Currently, Australia has no specific laws on AI, although the Australian Government last year signaled it would introduce voluntary guidelines amid concerns about privacy, safety and transparency.

In its National AI Plan released on Tuesday (December 2), the Australian Government said it will focus on attracting investment in advanced data centres, building AI skills to support and protect jobs, and ensuring public safety as AI is increasingly integrated into everyday life.

“The government’s approach to AI regulation will continue to build on Australia’s existing strong legal and regulatory frameworks, ensuring that established law remains the foundation for addressing and mitigating the risks associated with AI,” the plan reads.

Accordingly, agencies and regulators will continue to be responsible for identifying and managing potential AI-related harms in their fields.

The roadmap comes after the Australian Government said last month it would establish an AI Safety Institute by 2026 to help authorities monitor emerging risks and respond to threats.

Global regulators have increasingly expressed concerns about misinformation related to generative AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, as their use becomes more widespread.

Federal Industry Minister Tim Ayres said the AI ​​roadmap aims to ensure Australians can benefit from new technology while maintaining a balance between innovation and risk management.

“As technology continues to evolve, we will continue to refine and strengthen this plan to seize new opportunities and act decisively to keep Australians safe,” Mr Ayres said.
