The Australian government is set to introduce stringent regulations on the use of AI in automated decision-making across government departments and agencies. This new national plan aims to ensure that AI applications prioritize fairness, accuracy, and transparency. It is expected to extend protections to consumers, workplace safety, and privacy as AI adoption grows rapidly alongside a surge in datacentre construction. Senior ministers are collaborating to embed safety and ethical standards into government AI processes. Additionally, the plan accompanies Labor’s initiative to enforce a digital duty of care legislation.
