OPINION | Dr Rumman Chowdhury says Australia needs a national strategy to protect public trust, ensure accountability, and regulate rapidly advancing AI.
If government is unable to adequately regulate and manage the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, it will erode already fraying public trust in itself, as well as in the technology. A single national vision and rigorous safety verification are needed as a minimum for Australia’s AI laws.
“Brakes help you drive faster,” says Dr Rumman Chowdhury, a leading global expert on AI governance.
Chowdhury was the US science envoy for AI during the Biden administration and has become a leading voice in the world calling for systematic AI governance.
