"Regulation was once a dirty word in tech companies around the world. They
argued that if people wanted better smartphones and flying cars, we had to look
past dusty old laws dreamed up in the pre-internet era.
But something profound is afoot. First a whisper, and now a roar: the law is
back.
Ed Husic, Australia’s federal minister responsible for tech policy, is leading
a once-in-a-generation review of Australian law, asking Australians how our law
should change for the AI era. He recently told the ABC, “I think the era of
self-regulation is over.”
Sure, there were caveats. Husic made clear that regulation for AI should focus
on “high-risk elements” and “getting the balance right”. But the rhetorical
shift was unmistakable: if we had allowed the creation of some kind of digital
wild west, it must end."
