Australia seeks public feedback on safe and responsible AI in health and aged care

The Department of Health and Aged Care (DHAC) has launched a public consultation exercise to clarify the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) and potential regulatory changes in Australia’s healthcare system.
Healthcare has been identified by the Australian government as an AI priority sector to reform.
This year’s federal budget has allocated A$1.5 million (S$1.3 million) to DHAC to review and strengthen existing legislations for AI use in health and care settings.
The public consultation opened on September 13, and will close on October 14.
