Will new rules for AI companies shift the needle on public trust?

from Life Matters - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

The federal government's setting up an Office of AI to lay out some ground rules for companies that want to build centres in Australia. In Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's words, it's about "shaping the future, rather than letting the future shape us". Broadly Australians are getting on board, with more than 13.6 million Australians regularly using AI tools. But there are pockets of resistance too. So what does this say about our trust in AI, and the global corporations developing these tools? And will the government's new regulations be enough to ensure those overseeing the AI transition are acting in Australians' best interests?
