The Australian Senate Select Committee has released a report criticizing major tech companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Google for their lack of transparency in AI model training data. The report, resulting from an eight-month investigation, calls for these companies' large language models to be classified as high-risk under new AI legislation. It highlights concerns about the economic benefits of AI, potential job losses, and the need for regulatory measures to ensure accountability.
The committee's findings emphasize the urgent need for a regulatory framework that addresses the risks associated with AI technologies. It suggests that companies must be held to higher standards of transparency and accountability, particularly regarding the use of Australian training data. Additionally, the report stresses the importance of consulting employees when implementing AI in the workplace to protect workers' rights.
