Productivity and economic opportunity<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of creating a new generation of \u201cgood, secure jobs for our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur great country… can lead in everything from cyber security and biotechnology to advanced manufacturing, and this is why we want Australia to have more of a stake in where AI is made and how it is made.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want great universities like this one leading the way, and we want more Australian companies and global firms developing AI here to boost our sovereign capability, to strengthen our national security and build our economic resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister was also clear: \u201cNot everything produced in Australia is up for grabs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAustralian writers, musicians, artists and journalists must retain ownership and control of their work. Our laws will spell that out, plain as day. An artist’s creative endeavour is their work and their property.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Our Australian standards will also set clear rules for large data centres: where they are built \u2013 and the power and water they use… We know that companies will need to invest in skills and training to be successful. And we know they will need energy too. We will create a legal obligation for the next generation of large-scale data centres to underwrite new power supply.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fairness, trust and social licence<\/p>\n
Economic gains must not come at the expense of social cohesion or public trust, the Prime Minister stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can bring our enduring values of fairness and opportunity to this task to ensure that AI earns its social licence; driving growth without undercutting conditions, fragmenting our society or damaging our environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is about building Australians’ confidence and trust in AI and our nation’s capacity to manage it, ensuring that our national interests and our national security are protected and providing the certainty for growth, for jobs and for investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Addressing the risks of AI<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister also addressed the risks AI could present.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year\u2019s National Defence Strategy identified AI and machine learning as holding \u2018the most significant potential for technological disruption\u2019 in the years ahead,\u201d Prime Minister Albanese said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that both extremists and state actors already use AI to create propaganda aimed at young people \u2013 and to spread disinformation that targets democracies. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs are working closely with their agencies \u2013 and our Five Eyes Partners \u2013 on these matters of \u00adnational security.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we move with purpose now, if we back ourselves, if we trust in our values and invest in our people, if we set our national standards high, then I have every confidence that Australia can seize this moment and make it our own,\u201d the Prime Minister concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Productivity and economic opportunity The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of creating a new generation of \u201cgood, secure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[17071,17072,9718,34682,12839,34684,17070,12840,247],"class_list":["post-51965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sydney","tag-arts-culture","tag-business-economics","tag-campus-community","tag-government-politics","tag-health-medicine","tag-law-society","tag-news-subscribers","tag-science-technology","tag-sydney"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
