Donna Demaio: Australia Correspondent on the Government pushing ahead with regulating AI and social media

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The Australian Government is pushing ahead with regulating of social media and AI, despite the incoming Trump administration's opposition to both.

It's in the process of developing "guardrails" for high-risk uses of AI.

Donald Trump is promising to repeal American regulation of AI, claiming it hinders innovation and imposes radical left-wing ideas.

But Correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge the Australian Government believes the public wants action.

She says the Government's planning to work with other countries if possible, but is prepared to act alone.
