We need to broaden the conversation beyond safety and reliability of AI to include review of decision chains. The weakest link may be a human, or a machine: unless every link in a decision chain is robust, the chain and things break.

Ministerial responsibility is also comatose in Australia - which would not be so bad, if instead we had individual responsibility of administrative decision makers. We now have neither. Meanwhile, Government cranks up BEAR for individual responsibility in banks. The logic?

I’m old enough to remember a time when something like this would have brought down some ministers or even a government. Now England just shrugs and moves on. Tory donors net £1.8m from ports scheme that gave Dover £33,000 thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-d…

Companies use #AI in everything from pricing to recruitment. The promise is better, data-driven decisions. But algorithmic bias can creep in, leading to unfairness - even unlawful discrimination. Our new technical paper offers tools to address these risks: buff.ly/397HkJM

Good story, but I add a special commendation for Lane Cove Council for licensing the urhere app for free use by Lane Cove businesses - app provider gets licence fee, no marketing of data, govt doesn't handle data, users and businesses happy. Lift your game, Aussie Mayors!

In Australia we call such bogus excuses BOTPA - Because Of The Privacy Act. If only privacy law really did regulate in most cases where BOTPA claims are made. This White House claim would be simply laughable if the subject matter was not so serious

The AI is trying again to convince us that it's harmless... Its thesis: humans should worry more about each other than machines. Sounds about right. (But it also said 'I have no desire to wipe out humans.' Bond movies teach us that villains say this to hide a diabolical plan.)

@SabraLane An excellent and fair response. And good to see clear and simple bipartisanship in this issue.

Who's responsible, someone asks PM. "The threshold for public attribution ... is extremely high. Australia doesn't engage lightly in public attributions and when and if we choose to do so is always done in the context of what we believe to be in our strategic national interests.
