The federal government is encouraging more people to use artificial intelligence. But this blind hype dismisses the harms caused by the new technology.

The Australian government this week released voluntary artificial intelligence (AI) safety standards, alongside a proposals paper calling for greater regulation of the use of the fast-growing technology in high-risk situations.

The take-home message from federal Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic, was:

We need more people to use AI and to do that we need to build trust.

But why exactly do people need to trust this technology? And why exactly do more people need to use it?

I'm sure the right wing groups will be using AI heaps during the election campaign, so the government can rest easy.
