The Trump administration has different interests and priorities than those of the Biden administration for regulating technology. For some issues like AI regulation, big changes are on tap.
AI systems can appear to be black boxes – often, even experts don’t know how systems reach their conclusions. The nascent field of “explainable AI” aims to address this problem.
The damage AI algorithms cause is not easily remedied. Breaking algorithmic harms into four categories results in pieces that better align with the law and points the way to better regulation.
How people feel about AI’s involvement in social interactions as depicted in science fiction can help shape policy governing AI in public spaces, including AI for environmental learning.
Big tech and its high-tech products and services play an outsized role in the economy and society. The Trump and Biden-Harris records point to how the next administration might regulate technology.
Unlike other big tech companies, OpenAI is the for-profit subsidiary of a nonprofit overseen by the nonprofit’s board of directors. Many media outlets report that this arrangement could soon change.

Automation has wreaked havoc with government processes here and overseas, and freedom of information laws have been key to exposing it. But with the rise of AI, our laws need modernising.
While regulating some AI applications is a step in the right direction, Australians would be better off with more ongoing expert advice and more regulation.
