Australian leaders back human oversight of AI as government addresses domestic violence

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and other world leaders backed a call for stronger human control over artificial intelligence, according to the Guardian’s live coverage.

In the same Australian news update, Treasurer Jim Chalmers was asked about calls for a national royal commission into violence against women and children. He said the government had increased resources for child, family and domestic violence and pointed to several contributing factors, including housing insecurity and what he described as the monetisation of misogynistic content online.

Chalmers said violence was unacceptable and argued that governments and communities needed to do more to address its causes. The supplied item did not provide details of any new commission decision or additional AI policy measures beyond the call for human oversight.
