Horizon Scanning Report on AI for Australian Commonwealth Science Council

The Australian Council of Learned Academies is working with the Royal Society Te Apārangi on the Horizon Scanning Report on AI.

This project was commissioned by Australia’s Chief Scientist and the Commonwealth Science Council to undertake a comprehensive study into the opportunities and challenges presented by the deployment of artificial intelligence in Australia and New Zealand.

The study, through its final report, is intended to inform policy considerations into the social, legal, ethical, technological and economic implications for broader use of artificial intelligence applications.

• James Maclaurin is the Royal Society Te Apārangi representative on the Expert Working Group
• Other CAIPP researchers involved in the project are Lisa Ellis, Colin Gavaghan, Joy Liddicoat and John Zerilli
