From www.holdingredlich.com: The Australian government is advancing legislation to regulate AI deployment and enhance cyber security, including the development of a National AI Capability Plan and updates to the Cyber Security Act.

A proposed “digital duty of care” for social media platforms would require regular risk assessments of harmful content, alongside ongoing privacy reforms to strengthen the Commonwealth Privacy Act.

Recent consultations and reports highlight the need for better safeguards in AI and automated decision-making processes, responding to the evolving technological landscape.
