It is reported that the Albanese government has opted against enacting standalone legislation for AI, instead unveiling a National AI Plan that emphasizes the economic benefits of AI and proposes unlocking extensive datasets from both private companies and the public sector to train AI models. The plan includes initiatives to support and reskill workers affected by AI, boost investment in data centers, and ensure the broad distribution of productivity gains across the economy. Additionally, the plan acknowledges challenges such as the significant consumption of water and power by data centers, the potential for AI-facilitated abuse targeting women, and unresolved issues regarding copyright protections for creators whose work may be utilized by large language models. The National AI Plan will be released on 2 December.
