"Around the world, governments are grappling with how best to manage the
increasingly unruly beast that is artificial intelligence (AI).

This fast-growing technology promises to boost national economies and make
completing menial tasks easier. But it also poses serious risks, such as
AI-enabled crime and fraud, increased spread of misinformation and
disinformation, increased public surveillance and further discrimination of
already disadvantaged groups.

The European Union has taken a world-leading role in addressing these risks. In
recent weeks, its Artificial Intelligence Act came into force.

This is the first law internationally designed to comprehensively manage AI
risks – and Australia and other countries can learn much from it as they too
try to ensure AI is safe and beneficial for everyone. "
