AI Regulation Moves Onto the Agenda
The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Amanda Rishworth, has called for a tripartite dialogue between government, employers and unions on how AI is adopted in Australian workplaces.
Speaking at the recent AFR Workforce Summit, the Minister also referred to the Government’s establishment of an AI Employment and Workplaces Forum, which will focus on five key themes: trust, capability, transparency, safety and productivity.
Take Out Point: AI regulation is no longer a “future problem”. Employers using AI at work should be preparing now by reviewing policies, consultation processes, training, privacy settings and the role of human oversight in workplace decisions.
