Albanese urges China and US to strike AI safety deal

Albanese urges China and the US to make an AI safety deal.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Apple's California headquarters. Albanese urged the US and China to make a deal on artificial intelligence.

The deal would be similar to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Albanese told reporters that humans must remain in control as AI develops fast.

He plans to discuss global AI rules with like-minded leaders at the United Nations General Assembly next week. President Trump is moving in the opposite direction.

He announced an 'AI Force' and opposes any slowdown. Australia is developing national standards for AI and data centres.

Legislation is expected early next year. Albanese also showed openness to changing Australia's copyright laws to attract AI investment.

Why it mattersAI regulation will shape how the technology grows around the world. It will affect both the risks and benefits for everyone.

AustraliaAustralia is positioning itself to influence global AI rules and is developing its own safety standards, with copyright law changes potentially on the way to support local AI investment.
