Most Australians worried about AI, new survey shows, media literacy vital

After becoming mainstream in 2023, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is now transforming the way we live. This technology is a type of AI which can generate text, images and other content in response to prompts. In particular, it has transformed the way we consume and create information and media.

For example, millions of people now use the technology to summarise lengthy documents, draft emails and increase their productivity at work. Newsrooms have also started experimenting with generative AI, and film companies are using it to create actor digital doubles and even digital clones of actors who have died.
