Voluntary AI Safety Standard

The Voluntary AI Safety Standard provides guidance for Australian businesses that are developing, procuring, and deploying AI systems and services. The standards will help by providing a global, consistent approach to responsible AI and practical guidance to deploy risk-based, innovative, and responsible AI.

The Voluntary AI Safety Standard has 10 guardrails to help you:

  • understand the benefits of AI
  • mitigate and manage the risks AI may pose to your business
  • promote ongoing action to check AI systems are fit-for-purpose
  • encourage accountability for AI deployment, use and impact
  • decide which systems are critical or which systems may pose the highest level of risk or harm.

Have your say: developing safe and responsible AI systems

The Australian Government has released a new proposals paper with options for mandating guardrails for the development and deployment of AI in high-risk settings in Australia.

The proposal paper includes:

  • Proposed principles for defining high-risk AI.
  • 10 proposed mandatory guardrails.
  • Regulatory options to mandate these guardrails.

This is your opportunity to provide feedback about the options being put forward, to ensure they address AI risks and harms and provide businesses with the regulatory understanding to adopt AI.

Consultation closes: Friday, 4 October 2024 at 5:00pm AEST.
