A report by the peak industry body for artificial intelligence says it is time for government to develop an AI plan and that the lack of one is hampering the industry and exposing Australians to risk.

abc.net.au/news/australians-say-not-enough-done-to-regulate-ai/102158318Two-thirds of Australians say there are not enough laws or regulations preventing artificial intelligence from being abused, and fewer than half trust AI to be used safely at work.

The authors found Australians were "over the hype" of AI and had moved into the "trough of disillusionment" and found that same uncertainty spilling over into conversations with industry and government, who were uncertain whether to approach AI with "outright resistance" or to explore the opportunities it presented.

The firm estimated that $370 million was added to Australia's economy each year by AI and expected that could explode to be worth more than $315 billion by 2028, as forecast by the CSIRO. The group says the absence of a specific policy on AI was a major obstacle to the sector, and that while existing laws could be used in cases where AI causes harm, those laws do not ensure AI technologies are designed or used safely.

The EU is also planning to establish a public database of AI technologies to assist in monitoring the sector.

Well, they'd know...

More than two thirds of Australians have no understanding of AI whatsoever, and their perceptions are skewed by fiction. It would be like asking rabbits what they think of nuclear non-proliferation

An umbrella will stop artificial insemination attacks.

😄 Two thirds of Australians couldn't describe an AI, if their lives depended on it. 😆

I dispute it actually being AI. Rubbish in rubbish out.

Labor and Greens ‘drunk with joy’ with Australians to ‘cop the hangover’: O’BrienShadow Climate Change and Energy Minister Ted O’Brien says Labor and the Greens are “all over the shop” and “drunk with joy” after their safeguard mechanism deal. “But it’s going to be the Australian people that cop the hangover of this,” Mr O’Brien told Sky News Australia. “This deal makes prices go up even further and constrains the supply of gas even further.” I don’t know why l, it’s like Neville saying to Judy I only got u half pregnant. The environment doesn’t care about half baked measures! Manmade Climate change is a con. Sea level rise has been a non-event, but they'll keep telling us disaster is coming Australia, down the gurgler ! 👎

Australians ‘want’ to see the Voice to Parliament be implementedAustralians “want” to see the Voice to Parliament be implemented in government, according to Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister Patrick Gorman. “It’s been on the table since 2017, now I hope that Western Australia does vote Yes when the referendum is held later this year, but I also know you can’t take anything for granted,” he told Sky News Australia. “You can’t look at that result in The West Australian today and think that the state is done, and it’s locked in for Yes.” 🐸💩 No we don't. AlboMP or LindaBurneyMP haven't provided any information of substance to base an informed decision on. The only information we've received so.far is some dribble about a 'vibe', being called a racist for questioning the lack of information and an army of bot-tards. He didn’t ask me

Albanese needs to find a Voice model ‘all Australians can agree on’Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s celebrations over the Voice last week were “premature” as his model is currently more likely to face defeat than a landslide win at a referendum, says Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'If the Voice and Indigenous recognition in the Constitution are so deeply important to the Prime Minister, then surely he needs to do everything in his power to find a model that all Australians can agree on,' she said. 'If Albanese doesn't want a hurtful and humiliating defeat at the referendum, he needs to sit down with the Coalition, sit down with the fiercest Voice critics and find a model that's acceptable to all Australians and that both sides of politics can support. 'Because a crushing defeat at a referendum would alienate and isolate Indigenous Australians, achieving the opposite outcome of what Albanese wants.' Sharri who? Blah blah blah Sky But he cried and everything.

Australians want to see politics ‘done differently’Independent MP Kylea Tink says neither of the major parties are winning the “clear majority of votes” anymore. “I think what we’ve seen, which is consistent to the federal election, is that neither of the major parties are winning the clear majority of votes anymore,” Ms Tink told Sky News Australia. “I think that sends a very clear message across our country that people are wanting to see politics done differently – they want to ensure their voice is being heard in that house. “Hopefully, what that’s doing is inspiring governments to actually act with courage and optimism to move our economy and our society forward.” No what your seeing is a period of poor leadership and parties that stand for nothing. Yeah No recent election says LNP is leaking like a sieve Labor 1,377,367 swing for +3.7 Liberal 1,006,390 swing against −4.9% Lets be honest, with libs support eroding out to minor parties, and greens support increasing with young voters and going to labor, its going to be labor at state and fed for the forseeable future.

Senate inquiry to investigate support for Australians with ADHDGreens senator Jordon Steele-John says people with condition struggle with ‘cost, wait time and stigma’ Fae_Blahaj Need to look into the process and costs for Autism assessments in adults too. It’s just as bad as ADHD assessments. The system is being rorted by private psychs who know they can charge whatever they want as waiting lists have blown out completely. The only support they need, is a bloody good boot up their arses. Scammers. How about a Senate inquiry to investigate support for the PRC by Australian Senators who like to downplay the Uyghur genocide?
