TRANSCRIPT
In Australia, various inquiries are underway to examine how to regulate AI and automated decision-making that was a feature of the Robodebt scheme that was found to be illegal.
A NSW parliamentary inquiry heard this week from NSW Law Society President Brett McGrath who said a unified approach to AI regulation should be adopted, looking at the experience at a state and federal level, as well as overseas.
The European Union's draft law on AI, the Artificial Intelligence Act, is the world's first binding rules, replacing guidelines or codes of practice.
It is awaiting the final sign-off expected in April, with a commencement date in 2026.
Dr Kris Shrishak is a policy analyst, technologist and cryptographer at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties. He helped to shape the the EU legislation.
Having attended the public hearing of the NSW public inquiry, he told Biwa Kwan there are things to learn from the EU's experience.
