The Greens want to keep a tight rein on AI. 

The Party wants people held accountable for decisions made using Artificial Intelligence, and to have a public register of AI systems used by Government agencies. 

It wants people to be able to opt-out of AI-assisted decision making and wants to put a pause on hyperscale data centres.  

Green Party MP Lawrence Xu-Nan told Andrew Dickens AI needs to be sensibly regulated, as it's a manmade tool that should enhance but not replace.  

He says their proposal would allow the benefits of AI to be shared by everyone instead of just a few.
