Remember 'move fast & break things'? That was then. Now regulation is back! But we need genuine reform. That means doing better at enforcing our existing laws, and filling the gaps where the law doesn't protect people from AI risks. Our op-ed: theconversation.com/do-we-ne…

Do we need a new law for AI? Sure – but first we could try enforcing the laws we already have

Reform for artificial intelligence is urgent. If we cut through the hype and self-interest, Australian law can promote responsible and safe AI.

The Privacy Act is woefully ill-equipped to protect the privacy of children (and all of us!) in the modern digital economy. Read @chloeshorten's impassioned call for privacy reform, and then add your name to the open letter here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/… theaustralian.com.au/inquire…

There it is. Scoop from @NeilChenoweth: Uber and Facebook set up convoluted new structures to get around Australia’s tax avoidance laws, using advice from PwC. PwC gave clients a head start using confidential government plans. afr.com/companies/profession…

This is inherently ridiculous, sorry. No one is making Google and OpenAI develop AI that puts humanity at "risk of extinction." If they honestly thought it was such a dire threat they could stop building it *today*. They do not, so they won't.
Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix30 May 2023
Another sign-on statement about the existential risks of AI- this one signed by Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and other company execs and a slew of academics. The single-sentence statement, coordinated by the Center for AI Safety, is here. safe.ai/statement-on-ai-risk

Good to see the government acting on "social casino" games, and the presence in video games of loot boxes that expose children to activities that are close to - if not equivalent to - gambling.

@MRowlandMP28 Mar 2023
Replying to @MRowlandMP
(3/4) The Commonwealth will seek the agreement of States and Territories to introduce a mandatory minimum classification of R 18+ for games which contain simulated gambling and M (not recommended for persons under 15 years) for computer games containing paid loot boxes.
