What Jim Chalmers has said about AI safety
“We've got to always find that balance point, but especially when it comes to AI, between overregulating and underregulating [...] You can overdo it and you can underdo it when it comes to regulation of AI”
“There's broadly 3 schools of thought on AI and big tech change. There's the let it rip crowd. There's the people who pretend that we can turn back the clock [...] Or there's our approach, which is a sensible middle path”
“The only way to make our people and workers and industries beneficiaries is if we treat AI as an enabler, not an enemy of what we want to see in our economy”
“We can chart a middle course that makes our workers and our people and our industries beneficiaries not victims of technological change”
“I'm optimistic that AI can be a force for good, but I'm also realistic about the risks. It is not beyond us, in my view, to maximise the opportunities of AI while we manage the risks the best that we can”
“Artificial intelligence is a game changer for our economy. It has the potential to support all of our major economic goals, making our economy more productive, stronger, lifting living standards over time”
“We have to do more to embrace technology, particularly the AI opportunity. There's a huge agenda there for us”

“Our focus with AI is also on the huge gains on offer, not just the guardrails”
