AI is a legal minefield for Australian businesses
Australian businesses who dabble in AI are opening themselves up to many potential legal issues.
Mark Carter runs Glow International, a workplace consultancy firm for SMEs. Here, he unpacks the many risks — legal and otherwise — for business that aren’t responsible about their use of AI.
An area of deep concern around the evolution of AI tech has the lack of protections against its potential negative use on the public.
With the technology being embraced across the world, Australia’s regulator ASIC is warning businesses to be aware of introducing AI without thought to controls or consequences.
Whilst it is clear that the world is not going to wait for legislation, warnings of potential legal action around the overreach or misuse of emerging AI technology by authorities should give all businesses pause for thought.
Very wise opinion Mr. Carter.
There is nothing to fear from AI.
We should be full speed ahead and as few regulations styming growth as possible.
