MAKING TECHNOLOGY SAFE 

Written By Block Branding

Technology, and particularly artificial intelligence, is changing our world in ways that we can only begin to imagine. 

AI has huge potential to improve productivity, but also raises new risks – both harms that we already understand and new categories of harm.  Regulating AI is challenging, given how fast it is changing, the share of responsibility between developers, deployers and users and its cross-border implications. 

In the coming years, we will need to legislate more broadly for, to ensure we can reap the benefits of AI without blindly accepting the downsides.  This requires a holistic approach and must be an urgent priority for this parliament. 

My Priorities

To support the safe uptake of artificial intelligence, I’m focused on: 

  • A holistic approach that addresses transparency, safety and responsibility.  

  • Addressing the most immediate threats to keep kids safe. 

  • Imposing a duty of care on digital platforms. 

Delivered

I’ve taken action to address emerging harms: 

  • Introduced a Private Members Bill to make it an offence to download AI tools designed to create child sexual abuse material. 

  • Seconded a bill to address misleading and deceptive political ads, including AI deep fakes. 

Advocated

Through parliamentary speeches or amendments, engaging with Ministers, Curtin submissions, or media appearances, I’ve also advocated for: 

  • More integrated approach to AI regulation
