Artificial Intelligence will change our world in ways we can’t even imagine. The technology is changing at breathtaking speed and this Parliament will need to set guardrails over the next 3 years so its benefits can be realised while managing its risks, especially when it comes to keeping kids safe. 

I introduced a Private Member’s Bill to crack down on AI tools designed for creating child sexual abuse materials.  Emerging technologies are enabling predators to create synthetic abuse content at scale, often evading current laws. 

 This Bill closes a critical gap by criminalising the development and use of tools designed to produce such material. It’s a direct response to recommendations from the recent National Roundtable on Child Safety in the Age of AI, and I’ve worked closely with ICMEC Australia to ensure it’s targeted and effective.  

AI is going to be a big theme during this term – it has so much potential for productivity, but it raises huge risks and governments will need to get better at nimbly adapting our laws as the technology changes.
