Australia to establish government AI office to coordinate regulation

Australia will create an office at the ​heart of government to ​manage the development of AI standards, seeking to ​balance the need to attract investment with effective regulation of the disruptive technology.

The “Office of AI” will be established within the Department of the ‌Prime Minister ⁠and ⁠Cabinet and ensure a whole-of-government approach across different ministries.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is expected to announce the initiative in a major address on Wednesday in Sydney.
