MOST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT the future usually include Artificial Intelli- gence (AI) which is why Australia's na- tional science agency, CSIRO, has re- leased a discussion paper on the topic.
CSIRO has invited public discussion
about the ethics of Artificial Intelli-
gence (AI) following the release of Arti-
ficial Intelligence: Australia’s Ethics Framework.
Developed by CSIRO’s Data61, the paper is de- signed to encourage a conversation on how Aus- tralia develops and uses AI.
It identifies key governance principles and measures that can be used to achieve the best possible results from AI, while keeping the well- being of Australians as the top priority.
Feedback received during the consultation peri- od will inform the Government’s approach to AI ethics in Australia.
CSIRO CEO, Dr Larry Marshall, said as AI is increasingly used in homes, workplaces, and
communities, it is important to ensure it transforms industries and creates new jobs in the right way for Australia.
“As Australia’s national science agen- cy, a focus on ethics, social licence to operate, and clear national benefit have always determined how we apply sci- ence and technology to solve Australia’s
greatest challenges,” Dr Marshall said.
“The draft framework contextualises these age-old ethical considerations in the light of new technology, so everyone can have a say in invent- ing the future we need so our children can keep
pace with emerging technologies like AI.” Adrian Turner, CEO at CSIRO’s Data61 said AI
is already here and developing quickly.
“AI represents a powerful general purpose tech- nology that will help Australia solve some of our big- gest problems relating to energy, health, ageing, safe-
ty, security, climate and the environment,” he said. “However, we will only realise this potential if

we address underlying science and technology challenges in AI itself as well as its implications for people.
“Because of the deep influence AI will have on us all, we need to ensure that these systems work for us and deliver benefits individually and collectively.
“The AI ethics framework identifies princi- ples and tools for achieving this in practice.” Turner said. ✺
