Government's ethical artificial intelligence vision a far cry from Terminator-style robots

Krusty · Nov 6, 2019

Artificial intelligence should respect human rights, diversity and privacy — while being a far cry from Terminator-style robots — according to new federal ethics guidelines.

Technology Minister Karen Andrews will today release an eight-point guidance she wants companies to adopt in a bid to prevent people from being exploited.

The guidelines stipulate all AI should benefit individuals, society and the environment. It should prevent discrimination, respect privacy and only operate in accordance with their intended purpose.

The guidelines also recommend human oversight of AI always be enabled and there should be timely processes to allow people to challenge the use or output of information.

"People do think of the Terminator when they think about artificial intelligence and robotics and those sorts of things," Ms Andrews said.

"But that's not what we should be doing with artificial intelligence. It [AI] is positive, it will help people in their daily lives."

Ms Andrews conceded that while AI would change jobs, she was adamant people shouldn't fear it putting them out of work.
