Submission to Department of Industry, Innovation and Science – Artificial Intelligence: Australia’s Ethics Framework

CPRC commends the timely release of this Discussion Paper and the extensive research on existing principles developed by other entities and jurisdictions contained within the paper. We strongly support the development of an AI Ethics Framework in Australia in combination with strengthening laws and regulation to protect consumers. CPRC strongly supports an ongoing conversation about ethical AI and responsible innovation in light of the significant forecasted growth of data-fuelled technologies and industries. CPRC has also urged governments to better fund independent non-profit and academic research understaking work in data and AI given the growing number of consultations and collaborations emerging within government policy and industry.
