Melbourne, Australia – 3 November 2023
London: Australia has vowed to work with the international community to police the development of artificial intelligence, as Science Minister Ed Husic played down the likelihood of scenarios resembling catastrophic scenes from Hollywood film The Terminator emerging from the technology.
Husic and Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles announced on Friday that Australia would be a signatory to the Bletchley Declaration after an AI summit held in England’s Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing cracked the Enigma code during World War II.
