New report urges a national strategy for AI in the workplace in Australia

A new report says Australia has no national strategy to regulate AI in the workplace, released as an AI forum in Adelaide examines the issue. The John Curtin Research Centre argues AI’s impact on workers will be shaped not by technology, but by political decisions.

Key Points

• According to Employment Minister Amanda Rishworth, the Albanese government is not ignoring the rapid spread of AI.
• Data from the University of Melbourne’s Business School shows nearly three in five employees (58%) regularly use AI at work, with about one-third using it weekly or daily.
• Dr Dominic Meagher, co-author of an SDA-backed AI report, says Australia lacks a national strategy to manage the spread of AI in workplaces.
