Albanese meets Tim Cook to discuss tech safety and parental controls
PM Albanese landed in California for talks with Apple's Tim Cook and a UN push on protecting children online.
Anthony Albanese arrived in San Jose on Saturday for a week in the US. Albanese will meet Tim Cook at Apple's headquarters on Sunday to discuss online safety and parental controls.
Apple's parental control measures were partly inspired by Australia's world-first social media ban for under-16s. At the UN, Albanese will push for a digital duty of care for tech companies.
This means they must remove harmful content and let users opt out of algorithmic feeds. He will also advocate for AI companies to use renewable energy.
Data centres should invest in new power supply. Australia is also lobbying for a non-permanent seat on the security council for 2029-2030.
