Australians want technology that is safe, fair and reliable. But we know that new technologies can threaten our human rights to equality, non-discrimination, privacy, safety from violence, access and more. Now is a critical time. As a nation, we can embrace new technologies, while upholding human rights and responding to ethical risks. This Report presents a roadmap to achieve this aim by modernising a number of laws, government policies, education and resourcing, for responsible innovation—taking advantage of the promise of new technology, while upholding our human rights. The Report’s recommendations will help ensure that new technologies are developed and used in ways that are inclusive, accountable, and with robust human rights safeguards. This Report is the culmination of a major project on new and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence. The Report reflects the Commission’s extensive public consultation regarding the impact of new technologies on human rights. Australia can seize the benefits that new technology offers, while effectively guarding against the risks of harm, especially to our human rights.
