A new Productivity Commission report has rejected the need for economy-wide regulation of artificial intelligence (AI), effectively selling out Australian workers and their industries.
he Productivity Commission report suggests relaxing copyright protections, capitulating to artificial intelligence’s plundering of workers’ intellectual property.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) said the Harnessing data and digital technology interim report delivers nothing for working Australians nor good employers looking to make the most of AI opportunities.
Big tech to reap rewards
“The Productivity Commission has swallowed the arguments of large multinational tech companies hook, line and sinker in its rejection of the need for appropriate economy-wide regulation to manage the risk of social harm posed by the misuse of AI,” the ACTU said.
