Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced new federal legislation for artificial intelligence, aiming to establish national standards for AI development and deployment. These standards, expected to be presented to Parliament early next year, will impose legal obligations on data centers regarding water usage and power supply. Additionally, the legislation will require AI companies to obtain consent from creators before using Australian books, music, art, or news for training purposes, and will establish an Office of AI within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to oversee these initiatives.
