Australia has led the way regulating gene technology for over 20 years. Here's how it should apply that to AI

The Australian government's shift from voluntary to mandatory regulations for AI highlights the inadequacy of self-regulation in ensuring ethical AI deployment across high-risk sectors.

The proposal notably lacks specifics on enforcement and accountability mechanisms, raising concerns about its effectiveness in promoting genuine adherence to AI ethics principles.

Australia can draw from the gene technology regulatory framework to establish a more robust and accountable approach to managing and overseeing AI development.
