Expert-recommended AI safety policies

Leading technical experts on AI and governance have identified two tractable policies that the next government could implement to put us on a much safer path and give Australia a seat at the table in shaping a beneficial AI future.

AI Safety Institute

A well-resourced, independent technical body to assess AI risks and advise on safety standards.

Only $1 is spent on ensuring AI systems are safe for every $250 spent making them more powerful. A well-funded Australian AI Safety Institute would help address this imbalance.

Mandatory Guardrails

A dedicated AI Act with mandatory guardrails for high-risk AI systems will both protect Australians and create the certainty businesses need to innovate.

Clear safety standards for high-risk AI systems are essential to protect against serious harms while credibly building the public trust needed to unlock AI's estimated $600 billion economic potential for Australia.
