Remember 'move fast & break things'? That was then. Now regulation is back! But we need genuine reform. That means doing better at enforcing our existing laws, and filling the gaps where the law doesn't protect people from AI risks. Our op-ed: theconversation.com/do-we-ne…

Regulation was once a dirty word in tech companies around the world. Now even AI’s greatest advocates are calling for reform. We need to seize this moment for real reform. Read our article in @ConversationEDU by @nickdavis97, @sophiefarthing2 & @esantow theconversation.com/do-we-ne…

Replying to @esantow
@esantow speaking at the NSW AI Summit 2023 held today at @UTSEngage NSW was the first AUS state to adopt an AI Assurance Framework. It helps gov. develop & use AI responsibly… but AI is a moving target (think: the rise of generative AI), it’s now time to update the Framework!

Rampant facial recognition creates a permanent virtual line up. You could be shopping or watching your team play at a stadium. But you're always a suspect. This risks catastrophic error & takes us towards mass surveillance. Great investigation by @choiceaustralia & @KateABower
Facial recognition technology is being deployed at major concert venues and sporting events around Australia, often without consumers' knowledge or consent. Read the full investigation here: bit.ly/3Ny4r2S

Lauren Perry from @HTI_UTS tells CHOICE that venue managers shouldn't be using facial recognition technology as a default approach. The fact that they are highlights the need for law reform she says.
