Australia gets serious about AI

Welcome to another insightful episode of our AI Governance podcast with Dr. Darryl Carlton.

Today, we're diving into a crucial development in Australia's approach to artificial intelligence: implementing a comprehensive policy for responsible AI use across all government agencies, which took effect on September 1, 2024. This groundbreaking initiative positions Australia at the forefront of ethical AI governance in the public sector, introducing mandatory measures such as appointing Accountable Officials, establishing rigorous risk assessment protocols, and requiring unprecedented levels of transparency in AI deployments.

Join us as we explore how this policy aims to build public trust, ensure responsible innovation, and align with international best practices in AI governance.
