Albanese joins 20 nations calling for stronger AI safeguards
Australia and more than 20 other nations signed a UN statement requiring AI to stay under human control.
On the eve of the UN General Assembly in New York, leaders including Prime Minister Albanese signed a joint statement. They demanded stronger international rules for artificial intelligence.
The statement warns that rapid development of advanced AI models poses serious safety and security risks without proper management. The statement calls for AI to stay under human direction and control.
It demands companies develop transparent safety protocols. The signatories also want the UN to establish an international body to develop and enforce AI standards.
Albanese told reporters the move shows how widespread the concern is across government, business and society.
Why it mattersAI is advancing fast; without global rules, countries risk diverging on safety standards and losing control of how the technology develops and who profits from it.
AustraliaAustralia is shaping international AI regulation ahead of major economic and workforce changes; the rules adopted will affect how Australian companies and workers interact with AI.
